Me personally? The Rotweiller. They look like they have bad intentions at all times and they are so friggin big they would be a handful to wrestle with.
But ALL of them could be a problem, no question.
I had a bad interaction with a dobie when i was a teenager, he got a chunk of me before i busted his jaw. He left gashes on my arm though.
Just 4 years ago i had to enter backyards as part of my employment. I had rung the doorbell and knocked as was protocol. No one answered so i went in to assess the guys gas meter, he then let a daschund out and it came flying at me. He then came around the corner and said, "oh sorry i thought you were someone else" and while we were chatting that little prick dog of his latched onto my calve. That was good for 9 stitches. I could have had the dog taken from him and probably put down, but i just let it be.
All dogs can attack and bite...some are obviously going to be worse than others. The idea of eliminating one breed cause they are the boogeymen of dogs is ridiculous though, especially when it appears many of them are misidentified as that breed. Shephards, mastiffs, danes, chows...all have aggressive members of their breed. All breeds do.
