Sorry about this difference of opinion, Travis, but IMO, that's not correct.
Keep in mind that poodles were originally bred as hunting dogs.
A true poodle is a good size dog. Not the toy poodles, but a true poodle
And it is true that it doesn't matter the breed, you can make ANY dog into a vicious beast that will attack with no provocation.

When I say poodle, I am referring to the 95% which are toy and miniature poodles under 25 pounds.
50-100 pound standard poodles are not a common breed at all, even though they are terrific dogs.

True, that.

I have friends who've owned four Rotts. One was a certified therapy dog who visited children's hospitals and nursing homes. Another has a nervous temper. At a public event, a stranger came up to this dog and put her face right up to it. The dog softly growled, but didn't attack.

My brother owned a small Bichon/Min. Schnauzer mix. He was put down at 2 years old for unprovoked biting of neighbors, friends and relatives (one relative required stitches and plastic surgery who the dog knew well).

The difference isn't the breed so much as the training and handling of the dogs. The Rott owners take theirs to obedience school every week. My brother didn't take his to any.
