10 lbs a week is not good. This huge, fast weight gain can lead to bone, and ligament and hip problems. Rottweiler pups should grow slow and steady. Their food portions should be controlled so they do not grow too fast.
About 10 lbs + or - is about average growth for a Rottweiler puppy per month. This is not a giant breed like a Great Dane or Mastiff.
