  Things you should worry about with any growth are changes size shape texture and color. To be safe I would have your vet aspirate cells to see what they are and if they are just lypomas/fatty tumors then just watch for the above things and should there be any chnges then they should be removed.
Good Luck!

I agree with having a vet aspirate them. Rottweilers are know for
being susceptible to cancer and I would not want to risk it.
Good luck!
