If your pup's sire is 138 lbs he is either overweight or oversized. That's usually not in the standard size for a Rottweiler. What titles has the sire achieved?

Your pup may take after the dam's side and just be a good average size for a Rottweiler male. Bigger is not better with this breed. They are supposed to be a working breed and supposed to be able to run and move without discomfort.

The Sire is not overweight, he is Shutzhound trained and I don't think the President of the Rottweiler club of western Australia would allow her stud to be out of shape! ;) She picked him up in Germany and bought him to Australia, the reason my partner and I Think he should be breed is because there are a shortage of "good" size and temperament rotti's in Western Australia, the breeder we got Rex off has been Breeding for 24 years...

This is why we have gotten onto this site, to learn a lot more about what is required for breeding ect...
