I've met some very nice rottweilers. They were big cuddly babies. While breeding has a lot to do with temperament, environment plays a very big part. The meanest dogs always seem to be the small ones. If a dog nips a person, it is usually giving a warning.

When I was growing up, people seemed more savvy about dogs. If I complained about a dog biting me, the 1st question out of an adults mouth would be, "What did you do?"

Exactly.

Or if a child complained that John Doe’s dog attacked him while the child was on the Mr. Doe’s property, the first question out of Mom and Dad’s mouth would be, “What were you doing on Mr. John Doe’s property in the first place?”
