Rottweiler (anyone have any experience)

Looks like I'll be getting a couple in the next few years. I was going to get 2 puppies at the same time but came to my senses.

I'm going to get 1 at the beginning of the year and get the 2nd one about a year later. This will be a predominately outdoor dog with a radio fence on 3 acres (all grass). I'm going to put in an automatic dog door in one corner of the garage so he can come in and out of the weather at will. In that corner I'm going to build a decent size dog house so he doesn't have full reign of the entire garage. It will of course be heated in the winter (the garage won't be).

I do plan on putting it through TONS and TONS of obedience training.

Anyone out there own a Rottweiler? If so do you have some good advice. I've done quite a bit of research on health problems so I'll DEFINITELY be purchasing from a quality breeder. Of course that comes with a hefty price tag, $1,500 and up.
