My gf was absolutely terrified of rotties and dobermans, at least up to a year back or so. She'd had only bad experiences, but then again, she'd even managed to get bitten by a golden retriever... ("INCONCIEVABLE!") It took me some time to convince her that there's no such thing as an aggressive (or as she said, EVIL) breed. One step forward was meeting our friends' rottie at their place. She, the dog that is, was all love and cuddles but with two sort-of-bad habits. She would always try to get on your lap if you happened to be sitting down. Imagine a 40kg+ avalanche of rottie slide down on top of you. (And licks. Always with the licks...) ...And she also had this weird happy-growl, it was like some dogs' hind leg starts twitching when scratched. She just would start to rumble like a truck. Fortunately I managed to refrain from laughing the first time she did it with my gf. She just froze mid-scratch. :D I haven't yet managed to find a friendly doberman or a pitt bull for my gf to get acquainted with. And as for the dobermans and pitt bulls, the only ones I've ever gotten familiar with were curious and friendly towards welcomed visitors. It usually depended on the owners' behaviour. They usually are quite good guard dogs with a solid sense of situational awareness. So it's sort of a "If you're ok by them, you're ok by me; if you aren't, you're DEFINATELY not ok by me" thing. :D
