We have a neutered 70lb boxer who is most serene and loving animal, and who is great around my 2 yr old niece, but the two of them will never be together unless I am right there with one hand on my dog's throat feeling for a growl or a tensing of the muscles. A dog, be it a Rott or a MinPin, can snap or bite with no warning...they do not have the same self-restraint and ability to reason as humans. And dogs are lightning quick...ever tried to do a play by play on a dogfight? Children should never be left alone with a dog that can hurt them, because dogs, on their own free will, can attack. And thus they can be blamed.

Very true. My only complaint is when people insist it can be regulated to a particular 'breed'.
