From what I remember reading, it's more likely the dead stare that Rotts are prone to. Other dogs see it as a conflict, when usually it's confidence.

Tails are only 1 non-verbal~ body stance, muscle tension, hair on back, etc. all clue in a dog whether there's a problem. A dog wagging it's tail can attack just as well as one not wagging a tail.
