One of the first instincts of a dog is for prtoection of self and then protection of owner, regardless of breed. If that species of dog feels that they might be in harm or their owner might be in harm, they'll attack. Now what triggers this, I'm not sure because dogs have different degrees of understanding.

Yes, this is true, but the question is -can that dog KILL you? I have been bitten by more chihuahuas than any other breed-but they are not going to cause death (unless they are rabid but that is why I am vaccinated for rabies).
Believe it or not I have not met an aggressive doberman. Of course most of what I see are not guard dogs. When the police bring in their attack dogs they are always muzzled for our safety. These dogs are generally only trusted by their handler.
