To give you a bit more of a flavour of the guy, his wife is frightened stiff of dogs after being attacked a number of years ago. What kind of person would buy two Rottweilers, knowing that a)his wife was frightened of them, and b)she would have to look after them whilst he was away 2-3 weeks per month?
If you don't have the time, or a career that will not allow you the time, to devote to a dog (particularly high maintenance ones) you should not have them.
