As a Rottweiler dad to my loyal Zeus in our Mumbai home, I’ve embraced the strength and heart of this incredible breed. As a vet, Dr. Carter suggests, “Budget wisely for Zeus’s purchase and care.” His advice, paired with expert insights [1,2,3], helped me navigate Rottweiler costs in India. This guide blends my experience with Zeus, Dr. Carter’s perspective, and reliable information [1,2,3] to help US pet owners understand Rottweiler prices and ongoing expenses in India for 2025.

• Age: Puppies (8–12 weeks) cost INR 20,000–50,000 due to high demand. Adults (1–3 years) range from INR 10,000–25,000, often trained for security [2].

Finding a Reputable Breeder

A trustworthy breeder ensures a healthy Rottweiler [2]:

• Healthy Puppies: Look for alert pups with shiny coats and no lethargy [2].
• Transparency: Expect contracts, health guarantees, and parental health records (e.g., hip and elbow screenings) [2].
• Socialization: Pups should be raised with family exposure [2].
• Support: Offer lifelong advice and take-back guarantees [2].
• KCI Registration: Verifies standards; confirm papers with the Kennel Club of India [2].
• Avoid Puppy Mills: These neglect health, leading to costly vet bills ($200–$1,000) [2].

I visited Zeus’s breeder, met his parents, and verified his KCI papers, I noted [1]. For breeders, Dr. Carter recommends, “Vet Zeus’s breeder thoroughly.”

Ongoing Monthly Costs for a Rottweiler

Rottweilers require significant care due to their size [1,2]:

Spaying or neutering improves health and behavior [2]:
