Expert Answer

Rottweiler inbreeding increases the risk of inherited diseases, weak immune systems, and physical or behavioral defects, since harmful recessive genes are more likely to pair up. It can also reduce litter vitality.

Responsible breeding avoids close relatives and uses health screening. If you are getting a puppy, ask the breeder about the parents’ health and lineage.
