As a baby I was once in my stroller, and I had a dobermann that was like a big brother, he wouldn't let anyone get near me, this one lady came up and was telling my mom how cute I was and she put her hand out and he literally almost bit her hand off for getting too close to me.

They should also take into account of the history of the dog German Shepards and Doberman Pinschers, Pugs, and bulldogs have a history to be trained violent. While say the Golden Retriever or Bernese have that "family dog" kind of feel to them. These statistics aren't always correct but they are accurate in some measures. I personally enjoy Boxers and Bernese. But I'm moreso of a cat fan. :)

True that dogs are subject to stereotyping; however, mostly unfairly. I am a big advocate for "aggressive" or "powerful" breeds as they've become known. In my lifetime I've been bitten by a lab, a golden, and a shar pei. Pits have proven to be the most friendly dogs by far. It is more important to socialize ALL breeds to ensure they do well in public. I'd much rather have a Doberman in the family than a Bernese.
