I like GSD's fpr the most part. But they need the right owner. We had a young female police officer our next door neighbour buy one. This was when my Yorkie was young, and we had an older Blackie and young pup Blackie. These are large dogs - my older male weighed in around 130
We noted not enough exercising or training of the GSD. And one day, my silly Yorkie went to charge his front window the GSD's. My fault as I always try to train go home with my young dogs
It was early summer, and that GSD broke the screen and charged my Yorkie - I was beside myself. But he was young and my Yorkie very aggressive with him, and backed him up - I was behind trying to get in front. Luckily my big Boy roared from the sidewalk - my husband kept him in control - which would not have happened if that GSD really went for either me or Razzle.
The point is this GSD never stood a chance with these owners. He apparently was put down for biting folks the third time.... I think pitbulls or for that matter any large breed is similar. You GOT TO TRAIN them, and know always what is under your leash!!
