No, Rottweilers are black/rust. The under coat can be greyish..
Oh brother you guys.. read the friggin Rottie Standard..
Color
Always black with rust to mahogany markings. The demarcation between black and rust is to be clearly defined. The markings should be located as follows: a spot over each eye; on cheeks; as a strip around each side of muzzle, but not on the bridge of the nose; on throat; triangular mark on both sides of prosternum;on forelegs from carpus downward to the toes; on inside of rear legs showing down the front of the stifle and broadening out to front of rear legs from hock to toes, but not completely eliminating black from rear of pasterns; un-der tail; black penciling on toes. The undercoat is gray, tan, or black. Quantity and location of rust markings is important and should not exceed ten percent of body color. Serious Faults--Straw-colored, excessive, insufficient or sooty markings; rust marking other than described above; white marking any place on dog (a few rust or white hairs do not constitute a marking). Disqualifications--Any base color other than black; absence of all markings.

I have never seen a grey rottweiler. I know that there coats are suppose to be black and a little bit of brown. Best way to find out is checking the breed standard because every pure breed dog has a stardard which breeders try to go by. So check the akc or ukc web sites and they will give you the standard of what the breed is suppose to look like.

I've never seen a purebred rottweiler that's grey only in black and rust color. You either have a mixed bred rottweiler or just have one of a kind with rare color grey. But I'd definately check into it though.

It is possible, anything is possible with breeders, especially those that like to breed "designer" dogs, but such a dog would be considered a serious color fault and should not be bred. They should aways be black with clearly defined markings of rust or mahogany. Undercoat may be gray, tan or black. Nor should they have long curly coats. If you are going to show this will be a problem, if you just want a pet and they have a good temperament, then spay/neuter them and enjoy.

Well,there are blue and fawn Dobermans,and since Rotts have the same color pattern,I suppose it's possible,but it would be a fault in the show ring.

just because it's "purebred" doesnt mean it's WELL BRED.... no rotties arent supposed to be grayish.... A rich black with rich mahogany markings. no gray unless it's old and then the muzzle will gray some. Other than that no gray. but it doesnt mean it's a mutt, just that it should DEFINATELY not be bred.

no, if you have one that you think is a rottie and it has a gray tinge to it, look up dogs on google images and see if you see one similar to the one you have. it's possible that it could be another breed of dog or a mix.

No. They are always black, with tan, or brown markings.
