Now - go re-read these articles. These breeds account for the most FATAL dog attacks. The most dog bites come from smaller breeds, like poodles and ****er spaniels. You just don't hear about it because people don't die from them.
It IS about how the animal is raised. My dogs have never even growled at a person, but my dogs have been attacked by smaller dogs, and so have I. The owners of those dogs thought it was "cute" when their dogs were being aggressive, and did nothing to stop it. When a Jack Russell was literally hanging by it's teeth from my Rotties neck (and my Rottie was standing there doing nothing except looking confused) I said to the owner "If my dog behaved that way, I'd be forced to put her down. Get your dog away from me or I'll put HIM down right here and now"
The story of this poor woman being killed is tragic, but we don't know the whole story - don't judge an entire breed by this story...

When I walk my German Shepherd, he wants to visit with every dog we see. I prefer that he never get close to little dogs. They will snap at a big dog in a heartbeat. Chihuahuas are the worst about doing this. They seem to have no concept of their size difference!!!
