Adopting a Rottweiler

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Rottweiler - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

A Rottweiler costs around $300 when adopted from a rescue or shelter. If you buy one from a breeder, it can cost between $1,000 and $3,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Rottweiler is through a rescue that specializes in Rottweilers. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Rottweilers in your area.

The cost of a Rottweiler can vary depending on factors such as the dog’s pedigree, lineage, breeder reputation, location, and whether the dog is intended for pet or show purposes. On average, Rottweiler puppies from reputable breeders can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 or more. Show-quality Rottweilers with pedigrees from champion bloodlines may be priced higher. Adopting a Rottweiler from a rescue organization or shelter may be more affordable, with adoption fees typically ranging from $100 to $500.

Rottweiler fun facts

Fun Facts:

In the mid-20th, Rottweilers found favor with humans as police dogs. Their great intelligence, strong musculature, and intense guarding instincts have been put to excellent use in the military, on the police force, and in therapy and service capacities.

When the Romans stopped in Germany, in an Alps town full of large houses with red-tiled roofs, they named the town das Rote Wil. “Rote" for red, and "Wil" for villa. Their dogs bred with local dogs there to create the breed known today as the Rottweiler.

Rottweilers have been given a sweet image by Alexandra Day's children's book series Good Dog, Carl. The series is about the fun adventures Carl and his infant mistress enjoy after the mother leaves, having asked Carl to watch over the baby.
