What Rottweilers are like to live with
The Rottweiler was developed in the German market town of Rottweil as a drovers' dog that could also guard. The Royal Kennel Club describes it as a "strong, intelligent and protective German drover's dog" and says it is "territorial and protective of his owner and his property". It adds that in modern times the breed has been used by the armed forces and the police.

With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Rottweilers on this page are with Rescue Remedies (2) and Last Chance Animal Rescue (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.
How much exercise does a Rottweiler need?
More than two hours a day, according to The Royal Kennel Club. PDSA says at least two hours, including walks, play, time in a secure garden and thinking games. Ask the rescue about this dog, as age and health make a difference.
How long do Rottweilers live?
The Royal Kennel Club gives the Rottweiler a lifespan of under 10 years, while Dogs Trust says typically 10 or more. For a rescue dog, ask the rescue what vet checks it has had, and ask your own vet about its health.
Are Rottweilers good with children?
It depends on the dog, not the breed. Most of the 3 Rottweilers listed in and around Lewes today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue.
