I have a blue merle Rough Collie, Lady, and everyone is afraid of her. I had one woman call my dog, Lady, a wolf at the vet's, and she was telling her kid to stay away from her. I told her, "No, she is just a Collie." But the woman insisted that I was lying and wouldn't believe me 'till she asked my mom.
I think how a dog is raised plays a lot in how it acts. My dog was a kennel dog for the first four months of her life and was socialized very little. Because of this, she is very weary of strangers and will bark and snarl at them. If someone is there, at her side, telling her it is okay she will immediately calm down and want to play with the stranger.
I also had a tri-factored sable Rough Collie that I raised from the time she was six weeks old until she was a year or so and anyone could tell the difference between Lady and her. Penny, the dog's name, would immediately want to be played with and would lick your hands, never hesistating. I think this is because she was well socialized as a pup. (I am not going over why she is no longer with me, it's too long of a story. IM coolwitemyre1 if you really want to know. *sigh*)
As for Pit's, Dobi's, Rottie's, etc, I don't feel they are bad dogs. I think most are very loving, at least the one's I have met. I just think how a dog acts depends on a lot of things, how they were raised playing a major role.
Just my opinion, so don't freak out.
