    @wendy01: Yes, cancer is a health issue seen regularly in Rottweiler populations (enough that it is listed as a health issue of the breed).

    Osteosarcomas (bone tumours) are reported as being fairly common.

    Do you have a Rotti?

      I’m sorry to hear that. They are such great companions, it’s one of the crummy parts of them living shorter lives than us – we have to say goodbye. *hugs*
