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.
