Why do people judge your dog by the breed such as that dog is soft oh don't look at that dog it'll rip your head off?

Most stereotypes are based somewhere in reality. For example, rottweilers are considered bad and vicious dogs by most people because rottweilers often are bad and vicious dogs (hence their use for guard dog duty).

Most dogs get overlooked because of what TV and the Media show of them. EG rottweilers killing little babies and German shepherds biting anyone who crosses their path but these dogs are GUARDING BREEDS and with the safety and COMMON SENSE many people love to have these breeds. but also that people say that lickle breeds like the chihuahua and Maltese are cute and soft but i have known one or two Chihuahuas who are meaner than a German shepherd. so ..... DONT JUDGE THE BREED JUDGE THE OWNER AND PERSONALILTY OF THE DOG !!!!!!!
