My dog is a rottweiler, and she couldn't be sweeter. We used to have two dogs, the other one was a labrador, but the lab (that's right, the lab...) bit my 2-year-old son on the face, so she was sent to live with my sister (not a euphemism -- she was actually sent to live with my sister.)
The rottweiler is very submissive around small dogs (as if she doesn't want to frighten them). She crawls up to them on her stomach, chin to the sidewalk, all the while making whimpering sounds. However, when she sees a big dog, she can be quite terrifying. (Loud bark accompanied with frenzied lunging.)
She also thinks she's a lap dog. And as I mentioned, her arch enemy is a chipmunk who lives in our yard. She sits at the window mesmerized until the poor thing emerges from its home, and then she cannot wait to get out the door and chase it.
Mostly, however, she just lies around.
