Do you believe that a dogs breed determines if they are dangerous?

For years I had the misconception that a dog was dangerous just because of their breed. My mind was finally changed though when I met my now fiance. He had a pit bull, named Thor when we met. I was scared to death of this dog. I wouldn't even go in the house until the dog was locked up, because i thought the dog would attack me. Wow, was i wrong. My fiance has raised Thor since he was born. (literally) Thor has not once attacked, bitten, rough housed, or anything to anyone. He is a calm dog, who is great with kids. My neice, 2, can pull his tale, ears, ride one him, anything without a flinch. We recently just got a new puppy, Dozer, who is rottweiler/lab. Anytime someone asks about my dogs and i tell them the breeds they ask if i'm crazy for having to dangerous dogs. I just laugh and tell them its not the breed of the dog...it's the person who is raising the dog that makes them dangerous.
