Bronze.... you would not regret getting a Rotty. I've had the honor of >10 in my life and every one was the aces. Give you a little example.... I once had a brace with the male "security" trained. They were both off leash trained to boot. There was a young girl in my neighborhood who used to come over and watch me train them. Then she would then go with me to the park and I'd let her put the dogs
through their paces and play with them. They came to love her and watched over her. At the park one day two jerks approached her began to hassle her. All I saw when I realized what was happening was two black flashes and then she had two large snarling dogs between her and the jerks. Needless to say the jerks left quickly and the Rottys went back to their "stations" to continue to monitor things. I swear that is what it's like with them. They are always watching and ready to react but on the other hand they are gentle giants ready to be "pillows" for the kids watching TV. If my health was better I'd have them again, but they need to much attention and training for me now and it really upsets me.
Get one and don't look back.... you will never regret the decision. Just make sure you watch the genetics... they are very over bred.
Apologies if I got carried away....
