No one's got Rottweilers? I have two females at home which I absolutely adore..but they are so expensive and high maintinence, and you have to be really selective about their bloodline and make sure they are AKC, etc...otherwise risk bad temperament, risk of poor genetic lineage, etc.

Basically they take a lot of research, a lot of space to run around, and a whole lot of dog chow!! But my rotties are the best friends/dogs I could ever imagine...fierce protectors and gentle companions
