That's not how statistics work. There's something like 10x more pitbulls than Rottweilers. So just to match the pitbull numbers, Rottweilers would have to be a full 10x more aggressive than pitbulls. But if you control for population, Rottweilers turn out even more dangerous.

Also, I think 8% is a pretty big percentage for a single breed. That would mean almost 1 in every 10 dogs you see will be a pitbull.

I'm not trying to hate on Rottweilers. I'm sure most of them are just doing what they think is best. But they are also one of the more dangerous breeds.
