Things can still happen with the best bred dog(He did not have any hip or elbow probs)
We lost our boy last month to cancer at the age of 6 .He went went from a fit health dog to a wreck in about 2 weeks )Vets took that long to work out what was happening to him and didnt really know till they opened him up
Two mates that have also had rottweilers,3 dogs in total all had to be put down because of cancer,the eldest dog made it to 8 years old.
This in it self nearly put me off the breed
