What size yard does a Rottweiler need?
Obviously, a large, fenced yard would be the most ideal, but Rottweilers have been known to get on fairly well in apartments and other small areas as long as they get frequent and regular exercise. Even with a large yard, your Rottweiler will most definitely appreciate being taken out and let off leash (as long as you have good verbal control over your dog) for a “good run” now and again. A Rottweiler should never be chained outside and ignored. They are social animals that need and enjoy spending time with their “people”.
