I now just ignore them and carry on walking. I know that my dogs are friendly and great with other dogs although they never run free with other dogs as they are too rowdy and big. You shouldn't have to justify why you own that particular breed but I think it is staffies that are called nanny dogs because they are so good with kids.

When I was a kid I was out wlaking my gsdx collie and I was in the enclosed rugby pitch... Well A guy came in with four greyhounds... Told me to get my dog on a lead and out of the area cos he was gonna let his off and cause they were racing dogs they would rip mine to pieces
..... I was about 10 and papped me pants and went home very upset... Its plonkers like that who make people feared of your dogs... I know through my mum having a greyhound that they are top dogs...
