Incorrect. The breed "distinction" you're referring to is called racism. I own a 6 month old in tact Doberman Pinscher. He is the most well-behaved and well-trained dog I ever owned. He is wonderful off the leash at the park and can play with Great Danes to Yorkies. He has never displayed any aggression whatsoever. There are a few dog breeds I have had problems with, though...one certain dog named Paco tried to attacked me in the face for no reason...this dog was a Chihuahua. Also, my other dog was attacked by a Toy Poodle. A dog I was babysitting was attacked by a pack of chocolate Labs.
Why don't you take a look at the American Temperament Test Society's website to see how terrible the small "friendly" breeds do. The Chihuahua has a passing rate of 71% while the Pit Bulls have a passing rate of 84%. Your wonderful example of a Beagle only passed with 79%. The Daschund has a passing rate of only 66%. Let the results do the rest of the talking. A lot of people like you immediately think that the big dogs are bad while the little one are sweet. False. If anything, the little ones cause more trouble because the majority of them are never properly trained. Just like the Pomeranian dog that attacked in the face and killed a newborn baby. I'll leave you to ponder over that.
