My name is Carl. I am a Rottweiler. I was known as "Sharky" for the first year of my life, when I lived at a farm not too far away. I had great fun killing chickens, but my owners always seemed to not like that. One day they didn't want me anymore, whether it was that I had killed too many chickens, that I never filled out to be as big as they wanted, or if I was just too much trouble. Whatever the reason, I came to live with my new family a little while later, and I've lived there ever since.

I love my new family, and they love me. I am the official crumb patrol man, and I always come running (a very clumsy sort of run) when something tasty (or not so tasty, but I eat it anyways) falls on the floor.

I started 4-H obedience classes with my mistress, Sara, when I was a year and a half. I've won many prizes at the local county fair, and even at the state fair. Two years after I started the 4-H classes, we joined Car-Dun-Al. I love going there, because everyone knows me and gives me treats.

I love to do obedience work with my mistress. Actually, I love to work when there's someone to watch me. I never like to work as much at home because there's no crowd. I can be quite a goofball sometimes, and sometimes I'm just too smart for my own good, but I honestly try to do everything right, most of the time.

Besides doing obedience, I also do agility and some tracking. Carting is fun too, when it's not too hot!
