Rottweiler Mastiff Mix
A Rottweiler Mastiff mix is a cross between a Rottweiler and a Mastiff. Most grow into giant dogs of 100–180 lb and live 8–10 years.
Photos show the purebred parents. There is no single look for a mix: puppies in one litter can resemble either side.
How big does a Rottweiler Mastiff Mix get?
Pounds. The dark band is where most Rottweiler Mastiff Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.
Height runs 25–28 inches at the shoulder, against 22–27 in for the Rottweiler and 27.5–30 in for the Mastiff.
Coat, energy and training
Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.
Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.
The Rottweiler rates moderate and the Mastiff moderate; a puppy may lean either way.
A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.
Temperament
The Rottweiler is usually described as loyal, loving, confident guardian. The Mastiff as courageous, dignified, good-natured. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
