I agree with the comments about Pit Bulls. My wife sees the results of Pits every day at the Vet hospital she works at. Pits can be fine most of the time but when that "switch" goes off in their heads, its over and they are on autopilot.
As for larger dogs, I think most breeds get a bad rap. We have a 120 lb doberman pincher that is retired show. He is the sweetest dog ever. He lets the Yorkie puppies climb on him, pull his ears and toes. They use him as a ramp to get up and down the furniture, and even jump in his mouth when he yawns. For most canines, its all about the breeding. Get a poorly bred canine and you're asking for problems.
The only two breeds I would never own (just my opinion here) are Pits and Chows. They are just too dangerous. I'm not comfortable with them being around my babies.
