As long as it isn't salted..When any of mine are off their feed, I like to boil chicken livers in a big pot of water, and pour that juice over the dog food..It lasts all week and is much cheaper than soup or canned broth..they can't resist the liver taste/scent.
an 8 month old should be eating about twice what she would eat as an adult.. she really needs to see the vet..I'm betting she needs to be de-wormed..

If you plan on neutering a large breed dog it would be ideal to wait until he was 3 years old. By then he will more or less be (mostly) physically mature. If you plan on neutering before 2 years of age it doesn't really make a difference if you neuter at 8 months as opposed to 18 months so if you don't plan on waiting past 18 months just do it now. Neutering before age 2 will most likely result in a dog with more feminine features. Another possibility is to look for a vet who is willing to do a vasectomy. That way he will still have the testosterone and have masculine features, but be unable to reproduce. As a side note, even for a Rottweiler, to be 100+ pounds at 8 months just sounds like an overweight dog. Daddy dog sounds like he's a bit overweight as well. The breed standard states males should be 24"-27" at the shoulder, which means the dog should weigh anywhere from 110-130 lbs.

If she doesn't want to eat, first check and see if she's sneaking something else into her diet, be it snacks left out in her reach, or a chewed up kids toy, or whatever.
Second, is she having bowel movements? How long has she gone without eating? If it's more than a day (two at the most), you should take her to the vet a.s.a.p. She may be sick with something.
Third, NEVER leave people food out where she can get to it. Our dog ate most of a bag of potato chips and half a pkg. of chocolate chip cookies... and it entailed a nighttime emergency trip, 2 days in the hospital, etc. He was dehydrated and passing blood in his stool---thankfully he didn't get chocolate poisoning (not enough chocolate consumed), but the sugars and fats in the chips and cookies threw his pancreas out of whack. He could've died.
Wishing you luck, and really, you probably should take her to the vet for a check.

You can try a different dog food. Is she refusing food all together or just turning her nose up @ the dog food. There are lots of gravy type things, iaams makes a vitagravy, you can add to the food. I wouldn't add soup, it has a lot of salt.

Mix her dry food with a bit of warm water. Stir to make a "gravey" and then serve it to her. Maybe she is yearning for a bit of a soft food change.
Dont feed her human food, not even soup...it's not good for her.
Call your vet and ask if there is anything else you can feed her.
Good Luck
