I'm personally a big supporter of the GSD(properly bred and from good lines)... however, I'm also very anti ignorance, so...
You understand that APBT and others that are "real" pit bulls(some breeders throw other shit in there for aggression and call them pits) actually have an incredibly good temperament, especially around children... correct? Up until the middle part of the 20th century, they were considered THE family dog to own. They were only aggressive towards other animals. However... they've always had a bad case of separation anxiety(because their love for humans is so strong).. so, putting them in isolation the first year of their lives will create an incredibly mean dog.
Ignorance is one thing.. ignorance with an emotional, knee-jerk reaction is even worse.
Also.. the GSD, Rott, Belgian Malinois, and Mastiff have WAY stronger bites/jaws than a pit.. pits don't have "lock jaw".. I promise you if my GSD got a hold of you, you'd have a lot more damage than if any pit did. The pit only has something like 230lbs psi of pressure on their bite... Rotts and Mastiffs are 400+.. GSD is about 290+ and BM is about 260+.
