The two most prominent examples, IMO, are the Dogo Argentino and the Caucasian Shepherd. While many people would say that these are not a consideration because of limited access to these animals, they are becoming increasingly popular, and the general public can expect to see an increase in the number and availability of them.

In 1980 the dog associated with the most attacks reported to the CDC was the malamute, significant because there just weren't very many malamutes. Most veterinarians I know will tell you the worst dog, most unpredictable and dangerous, is the chow. I don't think most people expect chows to be the least bit dangerous. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

Ed has commented in several threads about people not understanding the Chow background and likely traits.

I had done this before, years ago, and although I got it in one (this time), it STILL took me 12 seconds to be sure. There's a "stats" tab up above for how long it takes people and how many tries it takes them.

And I was unable to pick the Dogo Argentino in one attempt on the link I posted.

I don't think most people expect chows to be the least bit dangerous. I am quite surprised to hear that people aren't aware of how dangerous a Chow can be. In the 1970's, my family got one because a close friend got one, and we were impressed by how loyal, and fiercely protective and territorial, the breed was. The friend's Chow was taken into custody and put down after biting three visitors (three different occasions, and one was a mauling of a young child) to their property. Once ours matured and his aggressiveness manifested itself, we rehomed him to a family member in an extremely remote area, before he had a chance to hurt anyone. Sadie
