For people who believe that certain breeds are naturally aggressive, including the Rottie, here is the Kennel Club's view:_

The Rottweiler, which first appeared in Britain in 1936 and was shown at Crufts the following year, is an above average-sized, very agile, black-and-tan dog. Extremely strong and imposing, he is easily obedience trained and is, in fact, a dog that enjoys working. He has natural guarding instincts, but is not aggressive by nature. His expression is tranquil and kind, but when aroused, he will hold his own with any opponent. He is not a dog for the inexperienced and has been much maligned in recent years, when the breed became over-popular, and Rottweilers were often purchased to feed a macho image. - See more at: http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/services/public/breed/display.aspx?id=5137#sthash.2iIEGKbi.dpuf

I am working with a major animal charity, which in turn works with many animal charities, to lobby parliament to try to repeal breed-specific legislation.  It is about how the dog is brought up, particularly up to the first eight weeks when they form their view of whether people are friends or foes.
