Rottweiler Lifespan - How long does Rottweiler Live ?

How long does Rottweiler Live ?

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.

How to help your Rottweiler live longer ?

- The first and maybe the most important thing to help your Rottweiler have a healthy and long life is to make sure he gets vaccinated on time and that he completes the full set of required vaccination during his life.

- Consult the vet regularly on how to keep your Rottweiler free from canine parasites such as worms.

- Feed your Rottweiler puppy only the best balanced premium food.

- Monitor your dogs diet and exercise while growing up so the dog won't get 'too fat'.

- And also an important thing is to get help quickly if you are concerned about your Rottie's health at any time so you will have a healthy friend for a long time.

Caring Tips: How to care for a Rottweiler puppy ?

           1) Do Your Research First

• Find out as much as you can about Rottweilers, read books, search online, go to local dog shows, talk to breeders and so on. As with any breed, Rotties have their own distinct personality traits and breed-specific characteristics. The better you understand them, the easier it will be to raise your pup properly.

            2) Choose A Breeder Carefully

• 
  
  There are lots of excellent Rottweiler breeders but also lots of not-so-good ones, take your time and don't go with the first one you see.
• Choose a breeder who does all the appropriate health-screenings (eg. OFA, cardiac, eyes) on their breeding stock. Also check for both conformation (show lines) and working ability (Schutzhund or tracking for example) as this shows that the dogs look and act like Rottweilers! Ask any potential breeder questions, and expect them to ask you questions too.

           3) Take Time To Pick The Right Puppy

• Rottweiler puppies are irresistible, but you don't necessarily want to take home the first pair of puppy-dog eyes you see. Each pup is an individual with his/her own personality and combination of genes. A good breeder will be able to help you find the perfect pup for your home/lifestyle/plans.

           4)  Be Prepared For Puppy Parenthood

• A new puppy will take a lot of time, patience, love and money and you need to be ready for that. The first few days can be a bit hectic but things will soon settle into a routine. Here are a few things you'll need to know/do.....
• Make sure your pup stays up to date will vaccinations and de-worming treatments. Rottweilers are especially vulnerable to a viral disease called Parvo and you need to be extra-vigilant during these early weeks.
• Start housebreaking right away and use a crate to help prevent 'accidents' in the house. One of the biggest parts of housebreaking a pup is not allowing bad habits to form. Always take your pup to the same spot outdoors to 'do his business' and only allow him free-reign indoors when you're supervising closely.
• Begin training immediately too. Rottweilers are very intelligent and eager to please. Start with basic name recognition and housebreaking as soon as you get home, and add simple commands like 'sit' and 'stay' as soon as your pup feels at home. Rottweilers don't need (or respond well to) harsh corrections or training methods. They're sensitive and smart, and will learn quickly if you use positive, reward-based training methods. Once your pup is fully vaccinated enroll him in a formal Puppy Obedience Class.
• Socialize him early, and throughout his life. Rotties are a guardian breed and are naturally reserved, tending to be a bit aloof or 'stand-offish' with strangers.

           5)  Love Him!

• Rottweilers may be big dogs, but they love to sit in your lap and are big 'softies'. Give your Rottweiler puppy lots of love and attention so that he grows up happy and confident.

Rottweiler Health Tips: Symptoms of Dog Cancer

1.What are some of the symptoms of cancer in dogs?

1.The signs of cancer in dogs are very similar to that in people. A lump or a bump, coughing and hard breathing, a wound that doesn’t heal, marked change on activity level, excessive thurst, any kind of swelling, enlarged lymph nodes, a lameness or swelling in the bone, abnormal bleeding, weight loss. 

Those are all classic signs. But sometimes there are little or no signs, at least early on. So any time an animal isn’t feeling well, or there’s something abnormal or not quite right, the owner needs to bring it to the attention of their veterinarian.

2.How common is cancer in dogs, and what are some of the common cancers found in dogs?

2.It has gotten to be pretty common, especially in older dogs. Fifty percent of dogs over the age of 10 develop cancer at some point. We see malignant lymphoma, which is a tumor of the lymph nodes. 

We see mast cell tumors, which is a form of skin cancer. There are mammary gland tumors, or breast cancer, and soft tissue sarcomas. We also see a fair amount of bone cancer in dogs.
