I didn't realize that Rotweillers had the reputation of a "sickly" dog on average. They are large dogs and so, are inclined to the problems that all large dogs have. That is issues with their heart, hips, and sometimes spine. Not to mention, large dogs can get into areas, and therefore problems, that smaller dogs can't. So, they have a set of enviromental issues all their own. Also, if they are pure breeds, their chance is increased that they may suffer from some problems or issues caused from cross breeding too close, or inbreeding. But, the typical problems facing a large, heavy framed dog, will be faced by all breeds with a similar conformation. If you are considering acquiring one, you might want to check with your vet. They can give you detailed information regarding their experience, and most are happy to share health stats., and info., with a potential new owner. If you have already seen a puppy or dog you like and are considering sharing your life with, you might want to get your vet to look them over, just as a precaution. The vet might think of things that you haven't considered yet, and, this is a great way to begin your relationship with your vet. He will have medical and health records from the start, and this is important for both you, your pet, and your future together.

Is sickly an adverb?

Possibly. Sickly is an adjective when used to mean in ill health (e.g. he was a sickly child) and may be seen as either an adjective or adverb when modifying a color (adjective) to mean ugly or repugnant (e.g. a sickly green hue). The open question is whether the word hue or green is being modified.But sickly is an adverb, used preferentially over sickily, to mean in a manner indicating sickness.(e.g. he coughed sickly).
