Neighbors refuse to leave woman's property after marching in uninvited to "just play with [her] puppies", get chased out by one of her Rottweilers, then throw a fit, saying they feel unsafe: 'It's already difficult living next to these people'

One thing that non-dog owners may not understand is just how protective dogs are of their humans. Sure, dogs are silly goofballs most of the time. They will wag their tails and eat our couches and make us smile all day every day, but when it comes to protecting their humans from whatever they deem to be dangerous, dogs will risk their own lives to help out. That's why people say that "we don't deserve dogs", because some people really don't. And the neighbors here are an example of those kinds of people.

Do not walk onto people's property without their permission. That's just asking for trouble. And if you are like these neighbors, and you got lured in by the desire to pet some dogs, which we understand, and you accidentally walked onto a property that you shouldn't have, once you're asked to get off the property… just do it. Don't insist. These are not your dogs, the dogs will protect their human if they think you're a danger to them, and you certainly do not get to complain and blame the dog owner afterward.

It seems that there has been quite a lot of tension brewing between these neighbors even before this incident happened, so really, we're not surprised that this lit some kind of a fire between you. You were not wrong in this situation and neither was your dog. She clearly felt that you were distressed and that she needed to protect you, and that's what she did, without actually harming anyone.

As for the neighbors being afraid for their kids… well, it seems that they have an official reason not to cross onto your property anymore. And if an issue does arise, if, for some reason, your dog does do something, then you can talk about it. But it seems, at the moment, that your Rottweiler is more well-behaved than your neighbors.
