International siteRottweiler Price in India (2026)
A Rottweiler puppy in India costs about ₹20,000 to ₹55,000 from an unregistered home breeder and ₹45,000 to ₹1,00,000 from a KCI-registered one, with show lines at ₹1,00,000 to ₹2,00,000 and German imports higher again. The Rottweiler was named in the 2024 central advisory on dangerous breeds, which two High Courts set aside in April 2024, so the legal box below is worth reading before you buy.

₹20,000 to ₹90,000
Delhi NCR is a metro. Across the metro cities our sources name, a Rottweiler runs ₹20,000 to ₹90,000. That is the general market across seller types, not the figure for one seller.
Inside Scroller’s metro rows run ₹20,000 to ₹90,000. Supertails gives Mumbai ₹35,000 to ₹65,000 for pet quality and ₹65,000 to ₹1,25,000 with papers.

Indian climate
Needs active cooling in summer
Supertails advises summer walks before 8am or after 7pm where temperatures reach 35 to 40°C, monsoon grooming to head off fungal infections, and watching a black-coated dog for heat exhaustion in the tropics.
Legal status
The Rottweiler was named in the 2024 central advisory, which no longer stands.
The Rottweiler was named in the central advisory of 12 March 2024. The Karnataka High Court quashed that circular on 10 April 2024 and the Delhi High Court set it aside later the same month, and in January 2025 the Union government told the Bombay High Court it was not acting on it. Supertails, writing in June 2026, puts it the same way: there is no enforceable nationwide ban on Rottweilers in India. Some states issued their own orders adopting the list, and housing societies set their own rules, so check both where you live.

In short
Key takeaways
- An unregistered home-bred Rottweiler runs ₹20,000 to ₹55,000, and one with KCI papers ₹45,000 to ₹1,00,000.
- Food alone is ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 a month, which is ₹36,000 to ₹96,000 a year.
- A Rottweiler in a tier 2 city runs ₹14,000 to ₹50,000, against ₹20,000 to ₹90,000 in the metros.
- Adult weight is 36.3 to 61.2 kg on the American Kennel Club standard, with most growing done by about 13 months.
- Needs active cooling in summer. Supertails advises summer walks before 8am or after 7pm where temperatures reach 35 to 40°C, monsoon grooming to head off fungal infections, and watching a black-coated dog for heat exhaustion in the tropics.
- The Rottweiler was named in the 2024 central advisory, which no longer stands. The legal box below gives the dates and the sources.
The price
Rottweiler price by seller type
Who you buy from moves this price more than anything else does. Each row is the range our Indian sources state for that kind of seller, with the sources named in the notes column.
| Where from | Price in ₹ | What the sources say |
|---|---|---|
| Unregistered home breeder | ₹20,000 to ₹55,000 | Supertails prices a pet-quality Rottweiler at ₹20,000 to ₹55,000 and Inside Scroller’s range starts at ₹20,000 too. |
| KCI-registered breeder | ₹45,000 to ₹1,00,000 | Supertails gives ₹55,000 to ₹1,00,000 for KCI registered and Inside Scroller ₹45,000 to ₹85,000 and up. Mr n Mrs Pet states ₹45,000 to ₹1,20,000 and up across its listings. |
| Show quality | ₹1,00,000 to ₹2,00,000 and up | A conformation prospect from a proven line. |
| Imported line | ₹70,000 to ₹3,00,000 and up | Supertails puts a German import or working line at ₹1,50,000 to ₹3,00,000 and up. Inside Scroller puts a German or European working-line import at ₹70,000 to ₹1,00,000 and up, and says a direct German import adds ₹60,000 to ₹1,00,000 to the cost. |
| Pet shop | Not priced by breed | No source we found prices a pet-shop puppy breed by breed. One Indian source puts a breed puppy from a pet shop at ₹15,000 to ₹50,000 across all breeds. |
| Shelter or indie rescue | ₹0 to ₹2,000 | Most shelters and indie rescues charge nothing, or a nominal ₹500 to ₹2,000 that often covers the first vaccination and the sterilisation. |

Variation
What changes a Rottweiler's price
Lineage is the whole story at the top of this market. A German import on a working pedigree is a different purchase from a locally bred pet, and our sources put ₹1,00,000 or more between them.
Females are priced ₹5,000 to ₹12,000 above males on Inside Scroller.
City is unusually well documented for this breed. Supertails gives separate pet-quality and KCI figures for Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and tier 2 cities, and states the metro premium as 15 to 25 percent.
Health testing should move the price and often does not. Hip and elbow screening in a dog this heavy is the difference between a sound adult and a surgery, so ask what was tested rather than what the parents looked like.
What does not change it
No source we read prices a Rottweiler by age, so the calculator on this page has no age input. A puppy is priced as a puppy and an older dog is usually a rescue rather than a sale. Sex does change the price in this breed, and the figure above is what a source states for it.

Running cost
What a Rottweiler costs to keep
The calculator at the top of this page adds these up for you. The puppy price is not in the total: this is what the first year of keeping the dog costs on top of buying it.
| Line | Figure | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Food | ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 a month | Supertails gives ₹4,000 to ₹8,000 for premium kibble and Inside Scroller ₹3,000 to ₹6,000. |
| Grooming | ₹600 to ₹1,200 a session | Every 4 to 4 weeks. A short coat, so this is a bath and tidy rather than a clip. Supertails gives ₹500 to ₹1,500 a month. |
| Puppy vaccinations | ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 | The full first-year course. |
| Starter accessories | ₹3,000 to ₹13,000 | Bed, crate, bowls, collar, leash and toys, once. |
Food and grooming are this breed's own sourced figures. The other lines are the same for any dog and are sourced on the price calculator page.

Not in the figure
- Spaying or neutering: about ₹1,500 to ₹5,000 at a shelter or a subsidised clinic, and ₹6,000 to ₹25,000 privately, more for a big dog.
- Training classes: about ₹5,000 to ₹30,000 for a first course, and far more for a guarding breed.
- Air conditioning: a real cost for a thick-coated breed in the plains, which our sources price per breed rather than generally.
- Anything that goes wrong: one night in intensive care runs ₹12,000 to ₹25,000 and a cruciate repair ₹1.2 to ₹1.8 lakh.

Estimated from the adult weight range above and the growth curve for the giant size class. The band runs from the low end of the adult range to the high end, so your own dog sits somewhere inside it. These are estimates, not measurements of this breed.
Scroll the table sideways to see every column.
The same growth engine drives our puppy weight calculator, which works in pounds. For a dog in the giant size class, weekly weight gain drops to almost nothing by about 13 months. Height finishes earlier than weight: this breed stands 56 cm to 69 cm at the shoulder when grown.
Indian climate
Needs active cooling in summer
Supertails advises summer walks before 8am or after 7pm where temperatures reach 35 to 40°C, monsoon grooming to head off fungal infections, and watching a black-coated dog for heat exhaustion in the tropics.
A Rottweiler has a short coat, which helps, and a black one, which does not. Supertails specifically flags heat exhaustion in black-coated dogs in tropical conditions and puts summer walks before 8am or after 7pm.
The monsoon is the other half of the problem. Supertails recommends grooming through it to head off the fungal infections that humid weather brings on in a dense short coat.
This is a heavy, powerful dog that needs 60 to 90 minutes of exercise a day on Supertails’ figures, and the Indian summer narrows the window for giving it.
Legal
Is the Rottweiler legal in India?
The Rottweiler was named in the 2024 central advisory, which no longer stands.
The Rottweiler was named in the central advisory of 12 March 2024. The Karnataka High Court quashed that circular on 10 April 2024 and the Delhi High Court set it aside later the same month, and in January 2025 the Union government told the Bombay High Court it was not acting on it. Supertails, writing in June 2026, puts it the same way: there is no enforceable nationwide ban on Rottweilers in India. Some states issued their own orders adopting the list, and housing societies set their own rules, so check both where you live.
Checked . This is a summary of the court reports and news listed at the foot of this page. It is not legal advice. The position can differ by state and by housing society, and a fresh central notification would change it again. The full list of breeds the circular named, and what each court did, is on the dog price page.
Buying
How to buy a Rottweiler responsibly
Check your housing society rules before you buy, not after. Supertails notes that society restrictions vary independently of anything the government has done, and a Rottweiler is one of the breeds most often named in them.
Municipal registration, vaccination certification and sterilisation documentation are the practical requirements Supertails lists for keeping the breed. Those are local rules and they differ by city.
A guarding breed of this size needs training from the start, and our sources price a first obedience course at ₹8,000 to ₹30,000. That is not in the first-year total on this page, and it should be in your budget.
The checks that apply to any puppy
- See both parents, in the place they live. A puppy mill cannot offer you that, which is what makes it the most useful question you can ask.
- Ask for the vaccination and deworming record with dates and what was given. The full first-year course runs ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 on our sources.
- Check the KCI papers if you are paying for them. Both parents must be KCI-registered and carry KCI-approved microchips for a litter to be registrable, and the breeder must file within 90 days of the birth. Papers record parentage, not health.
- Avoid a pet shop if you can. Supertails writes that many Indian pet shops source from puppy mills, and advises anyone who does buy from one to insist on the vaccination records and see a vet within 48 hours.
- Consider a rescue. A shelter or indie rescue charges ₹0 to ₹2,000, often covering the first vaccination and the sterilisation.
FAQ
Rottweiler prices: the questions people ask
- Is the Rottweiler banned in India?
- No breed is banned nationwide in India as things stand. The Rottweiler was on the list in the central advisory of 12 March 2024, but the Karnataka High Court quashed that circular on 10 April 2024, the Delhi High Court set it aside in April 2024, and the Union government told the Bombay High Court in January 2025 that it was not acting on it. Some states issued their own orders, so the position where you live is a question for your state and your municipal body. This is a summary of what those sources say, not legal advice.
- What is the price of a Rottweiler puppy in India?
- About ₹20,000 to ₹55,000 from an unregistered home breeder and ₹45,000 to ₹1,00,000 with KCI papers, on Supertails and Inside Scroller. Show lines run ₹1,00,000 to ₹2,00,000 and German working-line imports higher again.
- Why are German Rottweilers more expensive in India?
- Because the dog is imported and the paperwork comes with it. Inside Scroller says a direct German import adds ₹60,000 to ₹1,00,000 to the cost, and Supertails puts German imports and working lines at ₹1,50,000 to ₹3,00,000 and up. What you are buying is a documented working pedigree, which is worth a great deal to a sport handler and very little to a family.
- Can I keep a Rottweiler in a flat in India?
- That is partly a question for your housing society rather than for us. Supertails notes that society restrictions vary independently of the law and that the breed needs 60 to 90 minutes of exercise a day, which an Indian summer makes harder to deliver from a flat.
- How much does a Rottweiler cost per month in India?
- Supertails adds its monthly lines to ₹8,700 to ₹19,700 and Inside Scroller gives ₹8,000 to ₹18,000. Food is the biggest single line at ₹3,000 to ₹8,000.
- How big does a Rottweiler get in kg?
- 36.3 to 61.2 kg as an adult, on the American Kennel Club standard, which states it as 95-135 pounds (male), 80-100 pounds (female). Height at the shoulder is 56 to 69 cm. Most of the weight gain is done by about 13 months for a dog in the giant size class.

India’s own breeds
Native alternatives of about this size
A Rottweiler runs 36.3 to 61.2 kg on the American Kennel Club standard. One native breed of about that size, with the weight our sources actually measured, and the thing that usually decides it in India: whether the dog needs cooling.
Read the climate line on those cards before you take this as a recommendation. At this weight the only measured native breed we have is a Himalayan flock guardian, and our sources say it struggles on the plains. If you live anywhere hot, a native breed is not the easy answer at this size: the honest answer is a smaller dog.
Put any two of them side by side in the comparison tool, or see all fifteen native breeds, measured and unmeasured, on the breeds pages.
