Thank you everyone!

I didn't want to mention anything but between working at the vets, volunteering at shelters & having a lot of family & friends with Rotts, I and a lot of the vets & techs &, trainers etc... I have worked with have noticed that about 80-90% of Rotts take their journey to the bridge when they are 11 years old. Most dogs life span varies by a few years but almost all Rotts pass at age 11, there's not a lot of variation for their life span.
Thanks for this explanation, lv4dogs. I didn't know this, but it's true, all the rotties I knew so far were about that age, some even younger.


senorita02, yes, he was 10 and a half when that picture was taken, and still he has no grey hairs. In fact, his face is still looking very young. He had a good life up there in the forests (this is his home).

It's so hard to believe that he will no longer be with us.
