Normal growth of a puppy makes it healthy and strong. Hip dysplasia or elbow dysplasia are some of the serious, common diseases that are caused by rushed growth of a Rottweiler pup. Do not give any sort of growth supplements to your pet in order to increase its height or weight, because in the long run your pet may suffer from the problem in their joints and also may have knee problems and also serious heart diseases.

Rottweiler puppies are really adorable, but like any other breed they can vary in size, structure and personality.

There are certain things which are responsible for the weight/height/growth of your pet.

These include his or her bloodlines i.e. genetic components, which means the size of his parents, his metabolic rate, diet, activity level and others.

It is commonly found that male Rottweilers are usually heavier than the female Rotties, but genes and bloodline plays an important role here. If you want to see your Rottweiler grow in a healthy manner, then be patient and allow him to grow and develop in its own pace.

Usually Rottweilers grow and mature slowly but their height and weight is generally determined by their genes. Ensure that your pet eats in proper quantity and exercises regularly to help him in his normal healthy development.
