    Is their bite strength 10x greater than other dogs? German Shepherds, Great Danes, etc are also big dogs used for guarding and police but you don’t hear about them snapping and killing a kid. There has to be more to it than just their potential for damage…

      No not necessarily, but fighter dogs don’t let go. I’ve heard stories where they had to literally, full force kick a bulldog off of a cow or hit a bulldog with a shovel, repeatedly to make them let go of another dog to a point where the bulldog died form their injuries. Rottweilers are not a fighter breed though, so they don’t do that. They’re just equally intimidating looking, I guess.
