that is plenty tall for a 15 week old Rottweiler.
A proper Rottweiler male is -24 inches to 27 inches when grown.

He will only reach his full growth potential if he is fed the premium kibbles, such as Canidae, Innova, Wellness, Natural Balance..Nothing you can find at the grocer's is worthy of your dog.

When I got my puppy two years ago, we thought he was the runt of the litter. He is now bigger than all his litter mates! He'll grow ! And you know what, I read some other comments and they do make some good food you can get right at the grocery store. I bought the "expensive" food for 4 months then transitioned to Pedigree, and the ingredients are actually about the same, and both my dogs are healthy. One is 11 years old!

Was he the runt of the litter? I don't remember how big my Rottie was at 4 months old but I know she is kind of small for a Rott now at 4 years old. I think it just depends on the dog. There is no set size they have to be, just a standard.

Whoah, speed racer - slow down! I think that many breeders and vets would agree that it takes about 2 years for many large breed dogs, like Rottweilers and German Shepherd Dogs, to finish growing and filling out. My own GSD is about to turn 3 and it took him a little over 2 years to get to his full 105 lbs. This is a good thing b/c the large breed dogs are more susceptible to hip and other joint problems, so it is healthier for them to grow at a slower pace. Fret not over your baby Rotty, enjoy the puppy months - they go by so quickly.

1.) I hope your not training to be mean... (when u said Beast it made me think of that. Srry if U aren't...)
2.) My dog was about that tall when it was around that age too. It turns out that he only grew alittle bit more. He stayed around that height. But if it turns out that he doesn't grow, I want u to still keep him. Unless you are going to hurt it, don't keep him. Put an add in the NewsPaper and someone might buy him from you. Just don't put him down. It's crul to put down a puppy for being alittle short.

it might be a runt...which means its the smallest out of the litter...it could be miniature too....did the breeder show you the parents of the dog? if not it could be mix breed
