Understanding Their Life
Rottweilers average 8-10 years, with many not reaching 10. If your Rottweiler lived past 10, you had precious bonus time. Their size and cancer risk make a long life an achievement, not a given.
Life with a Rottweiler means having a shadow who takes their guardianship seriously but turns into a playful puppy in private. They're always aware of you, always checking on you, always ready to be by your side. Their absence makes the house feel less protected and more empty.
