Rottweiler Pictures / Re: Old Rotti//what is the oldest one you know?

Teesha looks great! She is the oldest Rotti that I know of. I asked my vet how old was the oldest Rotti he "knew" and after thinking about it he said 13.
We seem to have a lot in common.
My female Rotti turned 12 on April 9th. She had to have a toe amputated two years ago and we were told that it was an agressive cancer. She is still with us so every day is a gift.
She has thyroid problems and has been on meds for the last 10 years so we did not breed her as planned. She made her own arrangments with the black Lab up the street. We found good homes for her pups, and kept two females who are now seven and a half years old. They are great dogs. One of her other pups passed away last month from cancer so she has outlived one of her pups so far.
I can't tell you how many times I have felt like taking dogs from abusive homes. I feel that a dog who is stuck in a back yard for its whole life, is not trained, and is not part of the family is abused. Good for you!
We got a male Rotti in November who is 7 months old and is getting along with everyone. Good luck, and let me know if you find a Rotti older than yours.
