It's never a bad idea to get hips checked, both for your breeder's education, and so that you are aware of any hip issues you might need to be careful of in what you do with Valentine - you can wait until he's under anaesthetic for another reason (neutering, dentistry, whatever) and have them done then. I'd also at least get a cardiologist or at very least a cardiology-interested vet give his heart a good solid listening-to, heart problems are all too common in Rottweilers.
