Why a rottweiler? There are many mutts with rottweiler in the mix, many of which are probably available at QAWS - but if you're looking for an "impressive" breed, get a smart dog - poodles, collies, etc.
From one website http://petrix.com/dogint/1-10.html
Rank Breed
1 Border Collie
2 Poodle
3 German Shepherd
4 Golden Retriever
5 Doberman Pinscher
6 Shetland Sheepdog
7 Labrador Retriever
8 Papillon
9 Rottweiler
10 Australian Cattle Dog
So a Papillon that weighs about 2 kgs is smarter than a Rottweiler. There's also a reason why German Shepherds (Alsatians) are closer to the top of the list for security purposes as well.
Do some research - a smart dog (while a LOT of work) is better than a big dog IMHO (notice no real big dogs are on the list, Dalmatians, Mastiffs, Newfoundlands or Grand Pyranees) while a lot of shepherd dogs are (and a Rottweiler is bred to look after animals not hurt them)
