It has to be tailored to the individual breed.
Exactly. I have a 100lb Great Pyreneese. This dog I have to drag outside so she will go to the bathroom, otherwise she will hold it until she is about to pop. All she wants to do is lay around and sleep the day and night away. She is playful and protective of my kids. She is fine with other children, but stand offish with other adults. (Our fault for not socializing her correctly when she was a puppy. Live and learn.)

Now if this big fluff ball dog ever gets pissed and bites someone, they are in trouble. This dog has 900 lbs of pressure per square inch when biting. That's a hell of a lot of force my friends.

There is a danger with every dog breed around. I had a great dane that was extreamly playfull. A neighborhood girl came up and asked if she could pet the dog. I made the dog sit, girl put her hand out for the dog to smell, dog lunges at the girl and bites her arm. Nothing to serious, but she does have a couple puncture scars now, I am also short great dane. We had her put down.

People need to research the breed of dog before they buy it. They need to know all the downsides to owning that type of dog. All the problems associated with it and the responsibilities. I like my dogs because they don't require much exercise or an overage of attention. I used to want a Siberian Husky, until I found out if you don't spend lots and lots and lots of time with them, they tend to destroy your house....not something I want happening, therefore I have decided to not get a husky.
