Rottweilers are beginning to get the same reputation as pit-bulls. It is the same thing. Owners are having trouble getting pit-bulls so another breed is taking its place.
I am more wary of German Shepherds than any other dog. You want to talk about a breed with a mean-streak.
And check on what constitutes unprovoked. Many of these incidents have been found later to be provoked attacks that were not at first clear. I've heard incidents of pens and other objects jammed into the ears of dogs that were involved in unprovoked attacks. The items were only found after the animal was put-down.
I'm not saying every dog is innocent. Each dog has its own personality and will react to a situation differently. Saying there is something wrong with the breed is like saying there is something wrong with a race of people.
And yes I would feel entirely fine having one around my 2 little kids.
