We have several in our neighborhood and they are all couch potatoes!!My sister had a greyhound that was retired from racing she rescued. Yeah, it just laid there most of the time unless you had food.

1. I'm willing to bet that dog was still intact. Aggression in male dogs is very rare once their owners have done the right thing and had them neutered.
2. I love dogs, especially bully breeds and mastiffs, but if I ever had one that bit a child in the face I would take it out into the back yard and shoot it. Immediately. Done, end of story, do not pass go, do not collect $200. What you are describing here is a case of grossly irresponsible pet ownership. I feel bad for the dog that its owners are doing such a piss poor job of raising it. Happy dogs dont act that way.
Heelers are a nuisance, but they generally only nip at you because of their herding instincts. The two breeds I distrust the most are German Shepherds and Chows. They are big dogs and I have a hard time reading their body language, and Chows in particular tend to not be very people friendly. Pitbulls, rotties and dobies are all big and can be intimidating, but I can read their body language like a book and tell just by looking whether or not they are going to be a problem.
