I'm terribly sorry for your loss and am very empathetic to what you are going through - when we lost our dog 2 years ago it there me into a funk for months.
That said I don't think its fair to generalize about any breed. A good deal of it is the breeding and family they are in. That said all dogs are still dogs. We had a pure breed golden that was wonderful with people, great with kids and at about 4 years old became horribly aggressive with other dogs. I think he would of killed another dog if given the opportunity. We made sure that for the last 5 years of his life he never had access to other dogs but come on - a mean Golden?? We also have a friend with a beagle that is great with adults and other dogs but terrible with little kids. Just like people all breeds have great dogs and bad dogs. I would hate to see one bad family / bad dog result into thousands of dogs being labeled as killers.
