how many years can rottweilers live?

In the USA my friend has them and they usually live 11 to 14 years! He gets them from a well know breeder! He's never had a problem with their health. I think a breeder with a good reputation is important, but you pay more for this quality pet! tdemx

Rottweilers are generally healthy dogs as a whole, and they normally have a life span of 10-12 years.

Rottweilers are prone to a few health conditions; the most prominent of them is hip dysplasia. Hip dysplasia is genetic but treatable when caught early enough--puppies are not born with it, but develop it slowly during their formative years. The deformation it causes in a puppy’s hip that can result in a form of painful arthritis; it is treatable when caught.

Because of their large eyes, they are often prone to entroption, a narrowing of the slit in the eyes that causes sight problems. This can also be treated when caught soon enough.

Although it is not a health problem, you should also be aware of the Rottweiler’s tendency to snore loudly and their overeat. They should be watched carefully when sharing food with other pets and, if needed, should be fed separately to make sure each pet gets their own “fair share”.

We have a friend who has one that is eleven years old and its still looking great.
I would think 10 - to - 15 years would be about normal.

i know that some get to live up the 15-20 years, it all depends on the life you gice them, healthy diet, exercise etc... I think the best way if to provide them with good healthy food, give them enough space to exercise, take them regularly to the veterinarian for check ups and or course give them loads of love.

I used to look after a Rottweiller which had to be put down at the age of 10 because of the tendons in its back legs. It had theproblem when it was a puppy and it got treated but at 10 it was too much to put him through again. He also had issues with digestion too which meant he had to have special food for him so that he didn't get the runs.

I think you need to treat Rottweilers with respect firstly - they are powerful but loving creatures, make sure they have regular check-ups at the vet, make sure they have the right food for their bodies, make sure they get plenty of exercise and if possible you play with them somtimes and always ensure there is plenty of love!!!
