The three most aggressive dog breeds (Google this and you'll find my sources):
The previous answer stating the most aggressive breeds are the 'pit bull' (which isn't an actual dog breed anyway and more of a "type"), German Shepherd, and Rotweiler was misinformed. These are not dogs born aggressive.
Any experienced dog trainer will tell you that any dog can be aggressive, but at the same time any dog can be a cuddly joy to own. Attacks by Chihuahuas and other small dogs are probably the most common, but not reported because the bites seldom do much harm.
The media give certain Dog Breeds bad press to sell more stories. For example, if someone reported on a young Labrador which attacked a child, it wouldn't be a great storyline. Attaching an image of a fluffy eared bright eyed Labrador doesn't give the same effect as an aggressive looking German Shepherd.
