Well what about the german shepard? Have you seen them in police videos, they clamp down and don't let go untill are told, they are considered a safe pet! What about doberman's, what about the other bigger breed of dogs. German shepards can be trained to attack when given the command just as the same for pit bulls. Most of the problems comes with the lack of responsiblity of the owners and anybody that gets around the dog or dogs. If people would think and consider any dog mean before you attempt to get near it. I make sure to always make myself aware of any dog I am aruond untill I am fully sure htey dog is safe with haveing me around. If my dog barks or I feel is a threat to my friends or company in my house he is locked up. I think others should do the same.
