Aww you never know humans seem to live longer these days hopefully rotties start too 😃 I have an old rottie who’s 15 has had cancer past few years with 2 separate toes removed now yet still has a walk every day and eats his food right away. Starting to get a bit of possible dementia and is becoming more needy at night time but other than that he’s extremely good for his age. Oh he’s also deaf which took me a while to realise because it doesn’t seem to bother him. Haven’t walked him on a lead for years been an amazing dog so I got another rottie pup 2 years ago who is an absolute nutter and not as behaved as my old boy but still a great pair of dogs. Rottweilers are the best! I wish you well with yours. 👌

Welcome to the forums!! So happy to hear you still have your boy with you at the age of 15. There is something called "sundowner' that affects old dogs...it's a form of dementia....there is medication to help with that. Ask your vet. Sundowners in Dogs: A Veterinarian's Guide

So sorry to hear that your boy Dodge is gone. Sounds like he lived a very long and happy life.
RIP Dodge.

WOW!!! That's wonderful!! I'm not sure how you would get him recognized as the oldest Rottweiler??? Is your dog registered with kennel club papers and a way to identify him? such as a tattoo, or microchip? Have you gone to the same vet for all of his life? Someone that could vouch that he is exactly that age would be good.

What is your secret to having him live so long??
