First off, hi everyone! First post.

Just wondering how old Rotts usually get. Thanks!

No-one has answered you...and I'm not sure that I can! Similar to most large dogs I believe, perhaps 11.5 years?

If you are wondering whether to get one, make sure to find a breeder who avoids inbreeding/line breeding, because dogs with a more mixed heritage tend to live quite a lot longer than dogs from narrow gene pools.

Thanks. (:

I already have a rott, but he is my first.

Dad has a 13yr old rottie. However he is doing rough right now. He cant hear, and his sight is going. he mostly lays around.
