How Big Do Roman Rottweilers Get?

The biggest breed of the Rottweiler is the Roman Rottweiler. This breed commands a great physical presence and their height is classified as either large or giant (extra large) size. Roman Rottweilers can get very big as they grow and attain the considerable size of a giant dog. They are widely regarded to be one of the biggest dog breeds existing on the planet.

The male Roman Rottweiler has a minimum height of 23½ inches and some can grow up to the giant size of 30 inches.

On the other hand, the female Roman Rottweilers are not as large as the male ones. They have a height ranging from a minimum of 24½ inches to a giant size of 29 inches.

“They are very protective of their owners and will fight to the death if they feel that the owner is at risk.”

The biggest Rottweiler in history was also a German Shepherd and the family that owned it wanted her to have a show debut and didn’t want her to be bred to anyone else. The biggest in the world is not a show dog and would most likely have been a rescue dog or a family pet that was very friendly and not aggressive at all. If you are looking for a Rottweiler for a home or a pet then you should probably go with a German Shepherd instead of a Pug or a Labrador.

Even though there is no list of the biggest Rottweiler in history, some Rottweilers can reach close to two hundred pounds. They are bred to be big dogs and they can be dangerous if you aren’t careful. However, the largest Rottweilers were always bred to be show dogs and would never be considered for family pets.

While different breeds of dogs have been claimed to be the biggest dog in the world at different times, Rottweilers have always been at the top of the list. While some dogs are claimed to be the largest dog in the world, these giant German Rottweilers tend to be the first ones mentioned when it comes to big dog owners.

Courageous

The Roman Rottweilers are very courageous, confident, and fearless. They are the dogs for war, and to date, the police and military still make use of them.
