I've met many gentle and well-trained Rotties, Bull Terriers, German Shepherds and even an (illegal) Pit Bull.
And I've met so many fluffy rat-dogs owned by trophy wives that are used to getting away with biting anything.
Differences in prey drive and excitability between breeds plays a very small role. Its always the owners.

here on madeira the dogs that are owned by people are kept in tiny little enclosures and yap their lungs out all day long and into the evening... if you meet dogs on the street they are usually very submissive and flee at your appearance, those are pretty much all strays
Completely wrong dude. Pit bulls and Rottweilers account for 76% of all fatal dog attacks.
Nipping and biting is different than fatal dog attacks.
Yeah, I trust the figures I've seen about as much as I trust COVID fatalities.
Police reports of the dog's breed are subjective. Media even more so. Even poodles have been written up as being pitbulls, here.
But if you have a link to a credible study, I'd like to read it.
If a spoilt rat-dog bites me, it gets a boot. If it bites a baby...
