I am no expert on this by any means!! But I will say that our first experience with a Rott was our friends 8 month old boy and at first, I was astonished and concerned with the amount he panted. Maybe I am wrong, but I'm thinking others will say it is fairly normal, to make sure she has plenty of water and is not out in really hot temps and know the signs for when she is too hot and/or too tired. I also heard that if you put water on their chests, it helps them cool down - as opposed to their backs. Maybe someone can tell us if that is true or not.

Good luck, I am looking forward to hearing what more experienced owners have to say.
