I’m a dog person myself, a German Shepherd Dog to be precise, but I have no doubt in my mind that the traits and personality of a Pit Bull Terrier have no place in my neighborhood.

German Shepherd and German Shepperd mixes killed 27 people in the US between 78 and 89. They're only eclipsed by Rots and Pit bulls as the most dangerous breed. Shall we take your GSD away too?

“Shall we take your GSD away too?”

If I owned a dog of any breed that was a danger to the public you wouldn’t have to take it away from me, I’d dispose of it myself. The problem is others in this society that don’t have the sense or the courage to address or acknowledge their own problems themselves. And this doesn’t pertain just to dogs.......

Actually, it’s % that’s most important. German Shepherds are probably the most popular breed in the entire world, for decades, and so between the aggression-breeding (Germans deny it, but they do emphasize it) and the fact they are everywhere, not to mention just plain large, it’s not shocking they are high on lists of bites and injuries.

Dobes and even pit bulls (various breeds, not just 1 breed) are not quite as popular.
