What is the ideal weight for a female Rottweiler?

Female Rottweilers typically have a healthy adult weight in the range of 35–48 kg (77–105 lb). The right target for an individual depends on her frame size and muscle condition — use body condition scoring alongside the scale rather than weight alone.

What is the ideal weight for a male Rottweiler?

Male Rottweilers in good condition typically weigh 50–60 kg (110–132 lb). Well-muscled working males at the upper end of this range are not overweight; the key distinguisher is BCS — ribs should be palpable and a waist should be visible from above.

How can I tell if my Rottweiler is overweight vs. just muscular?

Run your hands firmly along the ribcage. In a muscular but not overweight Rottweiler, you will feel distinct ribs with light-to-moderate pressure. If you have to press hard to find any rib definition, and the dog has no visible waist from above, the dog is carrying excess fat regardless of how solid or muscular it appears.
