Yes, I’ve had several over 30+ years (not more than one at the same time however!). As long as I got them out for two walks a day they were great and stayed in terrific shape (muscular, not fat). They are big old couch potatoes for the most part anyway. Mental stimulation for this breed is key. My urban dogs were in much better shape than most suburban rotties whose only exercise and stimulation were limited to their own backyard.
We had our Rott mix in both single family houses and apartments of his 14 years with us and the key was getting out for walks, which we had to do for potty purposes anyway and giving him stimulating activities like puzzle toys with food rewards. We also tried to work on training each day. We were with him most of the time, but when we did leave him alone for a few hours on occasion, he was chill and never destructive or a nuisance barker.
