Some people ITT don't realize it is not the dog or breed, but rather the owner behind the dog. A rottweiler has no more a tendency to be aggressive towards people than a golden retriever. It all matters how you raise them, and the methods you use to raise them. However, rottweilers are larger and have a look more intimidating than a retriever, so of course a rottweiler would be the preferred choice for people looking to get a mean, guard dog over the other 3 you mentioned. If you are calm and assertive, no matter what dog you get, they will be good with people, children, and small animals. I have a pitbull, and she is great with small children, and my other dog (cocker spaniel) and my cat (who is 7 pounds to her 50).
