Ive always found rottweilers to be some of the nicest (if lazy) dogs around. Lab/Rotty mixes are really nice. Sizes the dog down just a bit, and labs are always so happy. In reality, part of a dogs temperment is based just on the dog, not the breed. ANd a loving home helps this a lot.

The baby situation poses almost no threat to the baby, but female rottweilers have a habit of becoming very maternal and protective. A protective dog will not take kindly to the baby playing rough with freinds as it grows up.

Bout all the advice I can give.

Also, German sheperds are worse then Rottweilers as to being Maternal and protective of children. I know so many shepards and rottys both put down for snapping at a playmate.

All dogs are predictable, you just have to know what to predict.

I have a very good book on dog behavior and training, when I find it ill get you the title.
