Rottweiler is a is a medium/large size breed of domestic dog, so their average lifespan is not very long (14,15 or 20 years) as in small dogs.

Studies and breed surveys in US, UK show that a healthy averaged size Rottweiler dog lives an avarage of 8 to 12 years and it is common that female Rottweiler dog lives an average 2 years longer that a male Rottweiler dog.

Some Rottweilers live for a longer time and many others die earlier. Every Rottweiler is an individual and has their own health challenges, so there's no one-size-fits-all figure. It could be worse (many large sized dog breeds have even a shorter lifespan, such as the Irish Wolfhound who only has an average lifespan of between 6 and 8 years, the same for the Great Dane) but it's definitely not great.
