I will say that we dread pits and German shepards. We never know how they are going to react. Both me and my sis have been bitten by GSD clients. Most of our pits are wonderful. Although, we have had some pits who we "think" have been trained to fight. We had no proof, so there was nothing we could do but turn them away when they became vicious.
Point being, I worry more about dogs like Dalmations and Cockers WAY more than I worry about the "bad boy" breeds.

Me too. I got mauled when I was a kid, by a BEAGLE. People who know me from when I was little are all, why are you buying dogs that are vicious? It was a supposed "bad" breed that helped me learn to trust dogs again.
Standard poodles don't scare me, but mini poodles do along with most of the smaller breeds. I've only been bitten by smaller breeds, and never the "bad" ones.
It makes me so angry when people train dogs to be aggressive. It's not the dog's fault. Blame the owner, not the breed.
