And it is true that it doesn't matter the breed, you can make ANY dog into a vicious beast that will attack with no provocation.

True, that.

I have friends who've owned four Rotts. One was a certified therapy dog who visited children's hospitals and nursing homes. Another has a nervous temper. At a public event, a stranger came up to this dog and put her face right up to it. The dog softly growled, but didn't attack.

My brother owned a small Bichon/Min. Schnauzer mix. He was put down at 2 years old for unprovoked biting of neighbors, friends and relatives (one relative required stitches and plastic surgery who the dog knew well).

The difference isn't the breed so much as the training and handling of the dogs. The Rott owners take theirs to obedience school every week. My brother didn't take his to any.
