I have heard the same thing about cocker spaniels. They can be nice and friendly their whole lives and then suddenly get the urge to attack for reasons we can't understand.

I think it is false to say these dogs will just "get the urge to attack and do it".
I think Ceasar is right on meeting new dogs, no touch, no talk, no eye contact. Dogs can get very protective of certain things, one being their pack. Anecdotal evidence can be used to support almost any claim with dogs. There was a pomeranian that chewed off a babies face a while back and killed it.
Again, if you want to own a larger or stronger breed dog than you need to take more responsibilities and be aware at all times.
