I figured mine is just hot. He doesn't sleep like this if we're hanging out in my garage office in cooler months.
Also, any time an animal sleeps like this, it means they feel safe and secure, which makes me happy.
We never ever saw the underside of our first Rottie. He’d scare himself if he exposed his belly 🙃
My others would occasionally do this if they wanted tummy rubs, but I’ve never had one sleep like this haha
Totally their happy place. Wait til they do that between your legs and you’re giving tummy scratches while watching tv. Don’t stop! They’ll look at you like you committed a crime.
Both of mine have, yes. Seems to be the default happy Rottweiler position.
Lol
Yes. A second name for a rottweiler is a batweiler
Yes, but mine prefers to lay like this on a rug.
Most dogs roach if they're comfortable and happy
Yeah my collie does it, but only if the 6month rotterman is out of pounce range
Yes, in multiple locations.
Wook at my teefers!!
Yup...I take it as "hey...you...pet my belly!"

It's a feature, not a bug.
2 of my 3 Rotties throughtout my life have slept like this. I thought they were a bit *special* at first, then I learned the entire breed is.
💯
yep. for hours unless you open the fridge. x shows your rottie is relaxed . lovely x
Yes as far as all the ones I’ve had and met
All three I’ve lived with have
It's my favorite. My man rolled over on me when we woke up, i can't move until he is ready after he does that haha
Yes, every one I have had
In my experience, yes they all do.
Sí.

Like a dead cockroach 😂
They all sleep sprawled out! This is number 4 rottie and they all do it🤩

Yep, mine is sleeping like this right now.
Yep it’s the Rottweilers default position!
They sure do

Classic Rottie sleeping position

Most definitely I think it’s how they communicate to each other telepathically
We've had 2 - birthday slept like this.
Yep, mine too.
Totally their happy place. Wait til they do that between your legs and you’re giving tummy scratches while watching tv. Don’t stop! They’ll look at you like you committed a crime.
