We adopted Lucky from MADRA dog shelter in Connemara in March 2010. We found him while we were looking for our beloved dog Bear (who is also half Rottie) who was stolen from us at Christmas 2009 (please visit Bear's page). We fell in love with Lucky instantly and knew we just had to bring him home to Tipperary. He's a big goofy baby and loves EVERYONE - and everyone who meets him loves him too - he even won the "Best Rescue Dog" class at our local dog show, beating off some seriously stiff competition!
I am so glad that I found this site! I have a half rottweiler half bernese mountain dog too, his name is Bentley and he looks so much like Lucky!! Your dog is adorable and seems to have a similar personality to my dog, he is obviously very loved :)

Lucky looks fantastic and reminds me so much of my dog Rocky who met with an accident. He was nearly 2 years old and was a pleasure to have about the home. If anyone knows where I could get another dog or pup with the same breeding (Rottweiller+Bernese Mountain Dog) please send me an email.

Such a fabulous dog. I love both rotties and bernese mountain dogs so you got a great cross. Sounds like he has found the best home for him with lots of runs, swims and love.

Lucky is lovely, my other half is obsessed with Rotties and would love one. Lucky looks like a great dog and he seems happy with his new home. Best of luck with him.

He loves being in the car and if anyone opens a car or tractor door anywhere near him he jumps in like a rocket - and it can be hard to get him out, he's quite a heavy young man and sometimes he can put on a cross face and refuse to move!! He is a very funny clumsy boy but manages somehow to never hurt himself - no matter what silly pickle he gets himself into. He's jumped off banks up the mountains and landed flat on his face, he's gotten stuck behind wooden pallets and rolled off car seats with joy having his belly rubbed and become wedged in the footwell - but he always just keeps his big lolly-tongued grin and happy face on.
He's on the farm during the day and tires himself out chasing after birds and eating the most disgusting things - like fox poo and silage! Eating is actually a big theme with Lucky - he would do anything for a hazelnut or a piece of fruit so they were very useful in training him when we first got him. His other big love is swimming - a river runs through our farm and he adores swimming in it - especially when the weather is warm and his big black coat is a bit too hot for him! Lucky is a soccer pro - I would love to have a photo of him with the ball but he's just too quick - dribbling past as fast as he can go or else zooming by with the ball in his mouth in case you try to take it off him! He's entertaining, great company and is loved very very much by his new family.
