About the Rottweiler
The Rottweiler is a large dog breed originating in Germany. Adult dogs typically weigh 80 to 130 pounds and live 8 to 10 years. The breed is described as confident, protective, family-bonded, affectionate.
Experienced owners with insurance + landlord clearance and time for daily exercise. Rottweilers are deeply affectionate when matched well. Rentals with breed restrictions, owners without breed-friendly insurance, or households without structured training.
Adult Rottweilers need about 60 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 75 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
