5 Massive German Rottweilers under 1 Roof!

Can you unleash the beast? Are you ready for it? I'm ready just like that dog named Reddy is. Today is a very special day. We're over here in the city of Lakewood, and guess what? I've seen this guy on TikTok, I've seen him on YouTube, and I'm still amazed on how he get these dogs to get along in harmony. This guy not only has one dog. One. Not two. Two. Not three. Three. Not four, but five Rottweilers, all males. And guess what? We're going to find out how he does it today. I'm kind of nervous. Some big dogs. What's going on, Mike? Hey, Gerald, how you doing? You know we had to come here and see these five boys here now, right? I hear you. What's your first impression of these dogs? Oh, man. They're big as hell. What you see online doesn't give you the full image of how big they are. Look how wide this guy is. And this is really, you know, this is all solid. His head is the size of a basketball. This one right here won't let my feet go. Look at this. Some of them are still mentally immature in the brain. Right? Because, right. And that's the baby, right? Right. Reddy's the baby. So if he acts a fool, who's checking everybody? That would be Rosh. Reddy's dad, Retro, is the one who really checks him. While Rambo is something like the second authoritarian in the chain of command. But Retro, he's the meat with everybody. Everything revolves around him. He's the actual shot caller, as we call it. Because I'm still mesmerized how they're getting along like classmates. I want to see how they interact in their own environment, in the backyard. Let's go see them in person while we talk about it. Come on. Look at them, look at them, look at them. This is dope right here. Come here. Come here, Rascal. Rascal. Come here, Rascal. So I brought my little co-host today. This is Stephanie. Oh, my wife. Yeah, here we go, my bad. She wanted to come check this out too. What time do they go to bed, and what time do they get up? We try to have them in bed around 10, but they walk throughout the house throughout the night. They guard in the compound. So they usually wake up around maybe seven. Now, do they have an open bowl policy where they can eat throughout the day? This is where they eat. Each person, each person. Each dog has a specific bowl. Do you all feed them at the same time? They all eat at the same bowl with no problem? No problem. Damn! Sometimes Retro tries to bully him. What? Retro tries to bully him, and I'll see him, he'll stop, and he'll be like, no! And then he'll go on back to his bowl and make sure, but other than that, they're cool. What are we looking at as far as per month on just kibble alone? On food alone, we spend over $1,000 a month. Because- All with love. Because her concoction is kibble, baked chicken, teaspoon of tuna, because that's good for their coats. It has omega-3 in it, and she boils the veggies. So she makes a week's worth, puts this in a Ziploc bag, and just give it to them. Oh, you prepping them, you prepping them, they getting ready for a show? They understand Japanese, English, and a little Spanish. So what we mostly use is Japanese. For instance, if I want them to stay, Matsu! Down! And it's because we didn't want just anyone knowing what we're speaking to, and Michael was in the Navy, and so he took- Japanese. While he was in the Navy. I talk French to my dogs. That's the only language I talk to them in French because of that exact thing. I don't want nobody controlling my animal. Everybody knows the common language, down, sit, stay, leave it. You can control my dog. This is Rambo. No. Retro. Retro always has the harness. Retro, Retro. And he has the biggest head. Biggest, blockiest head. That's, and that's Rambo. That's Rambo. Ross. That's Rambo right there. That's the oldest. Okay, that's Rambo. If you want to follow them, trust me, on TikTok, like he told me, he said, we got that on lock. Then you said that. Follow him on TikTok, just Rambo Retro. How did it start? Because initially it started as one. You was going to get one, right? Uh-huh. You went to get one dog, but you ended up walking away with two. I had pink Retro. Mariyama was holding Retro. Then we seen Rambo come through. The pup, he came knocking the other puppies over looking for me. So we put Retro back and kept Rambo. We negotiated and we bought Retro home so that Rambo would have a playmate. Fast forward six months, they were in their first dog shows. We took them back to the breeder just so they could see them. Rascal had been born. She told me to hold Rascal. We left with Rascal. Now we own the fourth one, which is Ross. Due to the death of a family member, they gave us Ross. So that's why I'm really loyal to our breeders. Five or six years later, cause they had been asking like, when can we co-breed? Cause everybody want a piece of Retro. We bred Retro to get ready. That's his father. And this is son. This is the father. This is the son. How do we tell them apart? Yes. We go by the head, body structure, personality. Say like Retro got the biggest head. Rambo got the smoothest oval shape head. Ross got the Serbian look, the droopy jaws. Then we got Rascal. He's short and stubby. So Rascal's a Rascal. He can go from zero to a hundred any minute. And we got baby Reddy who has a droopy face as well. Do you get a lot of requests for breeding? How are you picking which one for them? And how are they picking one of the five to possibly be a sire of their litter? We get questions all the time. I get DMs. Do you stud them out? No, I will not stud them out because I vet the buyers because I want to know why they want puppies. I want to make sure the best that I can, like I did with the first two litters, that they go to a loving, caring family. I'm going to ask you some personal questions where you work at, how long you've been there. It's just like an interview. And you don't have to answer. That makes my job easier for declining you right there on the spot. But I can honestly say the puppies that we sold to the first two litters, 90% of them, I keep in touch with them and they live in a beautiful life. I never thought that it could be, you can control them all at once. But I noticed that when they do have arguments, it's nothing life-threatening. How do you deal with that when it happens right then and there? Do you make corrections? Make corrections on the spot. We've been training them since they were eight weeks. I see people laughing at their puppies when they're growling at them. It's funny when they're puppies, but when they get bigger, it's not going to be funny. So we never played with them growling and roughhousing. We do not do that with them. We call it respect. Say this all the time on live. When we're about to get a ball from them, we come up to them, we call them by names to let them know compared to just snatching it. Because it's respect. If you want them to respect you, you got to respect them. It goes both ways. I'm the alpha, mom's the beta, but yet at the same time, we have to respect them if we want them to respect us. And remember that they're still animals no matter how well-trained they are. During the day, like right now, are they in the house most of the time of their life? They're in the house 90% of their time unless they're doing dog shows, ads. You see right there? Yeah. These are the most bougiest rottweilers you will ever meet. He's scratching on the door because he's trying to get to that AC. We take them to the park at least once a month on the weekends so they can really exercise. But we walk them daily, like a mile, mile and a half daily. Don't get one if you don't get off work and can't give them that happiness and love that they need. Don't get one because they miss you and they want to see you. We was getting ready to walk them and our neighbor's German shepherd came full force running towards him. We do not, once again, we do not promote dog violence. They did not bark. They did not move. However, if he would have nipped any one of them, game over, leash is loose. Because I'm the alpha, they going on me saying, dad, we protected this person coming. You didn't let us get him. We remain calm. They remain calm. But the dog came to his senses and hurry up and made a U-turn. And that's why I tell people when they have their dogs off leash, we got rotties coming through. We give them warnings. We got rotties coming through. Some people like, well, my dogs are friendly. Keep in mind, you don't know what dogs would do because they're still animals. Yours might be friendly and one of these might not like you're a dog. You know how you have your house, when you have a child, you make it baby proof. So I'm looking around here, Miles. I said, he's got concrete planks all around here. And I know what those are for because we know dog urine kills everything. So Miles, look at this. It's got a dog proof, pee proof all around here. Even the- Look at that. Oh, you know, they would have tore the AC up with the urine. Which they did. They pissed on the AC unit because it was under warranty. That saved us $30,000. We was able to get a new one and we learned to cover the AC unit. So that's why you see things like this. The Uber Eats, the guy came here when I saw the video. The fence is this high. You don't think they can't get over this? Yeah, they can get over that, right? But you got over there. You was like, okay, I'm going to go ahead and walk over here, get the food. And they waiting. They waiting right here for you. Retro stayed in the back, let the fork come like, I'm a watch out. I'm the lieutenant on watch right now. And they waited till you came back. And then when you came back with the food, my dogs would have like, tore the box up, you know? But they let you grab your food. Like, okay, I'm coming in. So is all that like just routine practice? So I got to be real serious and bringing in, especially bringing in food. Cause they want the food. They can smell it. No retro. Just like he wants this ball. But if I'm serious, he knows, okay, I can't play. But if I crack a smile or feel joy, oh, they're going to take it. So it's all, it's a feeling. You have to be an authoritative figure. That's it. And you got to have that emanating from you. And I put this on everything I love. You can give me a million dollars for one of these dogs. I would not sell them. And the reason I wouldn't sell them is because I would be worried. And I know that one that got sold wouldn't be living the life he living. And the other four, they would probably go into depression because they have a pack mentality and they're very codependent. I saw a video today and this guy has a Caney Corso. And the other guy was interviewing us. He said, hey man, you mean somebody offered you $250,000? You said, no. I looked at Stephen and said, he motherf***** gone. I said, which one you want? What do you want people to take away from being a pet owner of five intact male Rottweilers? Number one, do your research with the breed. Number two, do your research with the breeder. Number three, start with one because it requires a lot of work. Look who's talking. He got two. Now we got two because we want them to have a playmate. Most importantly, can you give them that love that you would give, say if you have a child, the same type of love. And I can say that because ours are grown. Make sure you're able to give them that love. Do you recommend pet insurance? 100% recommend. And I'm gonna give you a reason why. Last year I paid $8,000 for all five of them with our pet insurance. Great pet insurance. Definitely you gotta get it. Retro had surgery on his back. It cost $12,000. I only had to pay $3,000. Guess what the doctor told me? He said, we have to put a lot of dogs down because the owners can't afford to pay the insurance. You definitely 100% should get pet insurance because you don't know what's gonna happen. The breeder is Vombanda House. And like I said, I did my research with this breeder. They breed their females only three times in a lifetime and they spay them and then they give them to a forever home. I treat them all the same. Each one has a personality that I love. If I want somebody to go to zero to 100, let's get it done. That would be Rascal. If we wanna go somewhere and we wanna get some attention, that would be all five, but especially Retro because he got that old big head. And the most athletic one is our boy, Rosh, right here cause he loved his ball and he's never gonna miss. So each one has a personality, but the one that stays under me the most is Rambo and he's been like that since a pup. I brought my Roddy, Brutus, the Romanian Roddy. We're gonna go and check him out. Let's go meet Brutus. Alone, not with the five boys. So this is my boy Brutus right here. He's three. He's got a BH, OPA, IC, Couché. That's great. IC, OPA. Good boy. I want, I want. Good boy. So when one do have to be put down, are you gonna replace that and always have five? I'm trying to get a sperm count for all four. And right now, at this very moment, if one pass, I would hope to have the sperm count from his father, the one that passed. So the legacy could continue. Five. Staying at five. I always had two Dobies. And I realized what I do, two ain't enough. These dogs, when they get sick, they get sick quick. Right. The best ability is availability. Right. So I gotta have dogs available to breed to quality females. More for us is to keep the legacy of the original five going as much as we can. And as financial, as stable as we are, we want to keep that legacy going until we go to our grave. My ex-wife said something to me and I used to be offended when she said it. This is why we were still legally married. Right. He keep it real. Yeah. Legally. When we was legally married, she said, yo, dogs defined you. I used to like, I'm a paw. Right. But then I thought about it. I was like, I'll take that. Yeah. I'll take that. You know, I love that. If that's gonna, if that's what you're going to coin me, I take it because they giving me what I did, what I couldn't get from anybody else. Thank you. This guy has one of the best podcast shows ever. And I say this with humbleness. We don't do this for everybody, but I love what he's doing. And they giving you correct information. Nothing is fidgety. They speaking from the heart. And that's what I respect about him. And that's why I'm doing it. It was a blessing for Michael and his wife to let us see these, these dominant males. Again, people, if you want to follow them on TikTok, and he's got it on lock, right? We ain't got live, go live on TikTok. Rambo Retro. Until next time. Boom.
