Why is my dog snoring so loud? Is it allergies, weight, or serious?

Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Male | 6 years and 4 months old | 135 lbs

My 6 year old rottweiler snores extremely loud at night while sleeping. He weighs about 135 lbs and doesn't appear to be over weight. I wasn't sure if it was allergies, weight, or something much dangerous that could affect his breathing while asleep.

It could be any of those things you mentioned as well as any number of other things. Without seeing him or examining him myself it is difficult to say. It is best to video him snoring and then take him to a vet for an exam. They will be able to advise you better after examining him and looking at the video.
