Rottweilers still do have a poor reputation though.

Which I truly don't understand; for having cared and been around rottweilers for the past two decades, I see them as lazier than a cat, good-natured and easy to raise piles of fat. I've witnessed more aggressiveness from small breeds (chihuahuas, pomeranians... basically all these spoiled dogs not raised properly because they're obviously so cute when they hump your leg, nibble at your ankle, and pee on the couch) than from the big guys...

Chihuahuas aren't big enough to actually cause serious damage to a person, which is why they get a pass from so many people.

And it's baffling, a dog is a dog; whatever its size, or the particularities of its breed that one must take into account (like the tendency to excitation and high energy of pits or malinois), there's some basics of education that any decent owner should teach their dog...
