German shepherds are nothing like pit bulls though. You rarely if every hear of one randomly mauling a kid. We have had a couple German shepherds over the years and they are smart sweet and friendly. They only thing our dogs would have done to a kid is steal there food. They use the because they are smart and can be trained. They follow commands. Pit bulls won’t stop on command as the many videos out there show. Once they are attacking they are almost impossible to stop.

The statistics say that they killed 111 people in 2022, pits killed 284, so yes, you very rarely hear of it, even though it happens 40% of the time that a pit bull fatally attacked someone. The reason for that is that every bully breed dog that attacks someone is identified as a Pit Bull by someone unqualified to identify dogs, and it’s a sensational story when it’s a Pit Bull, for some reason. Look at the people on this thread. Never once last year did you hear of the 111 people killed by German Shepherds, yet Pit Bulls should all be killed and I’m an asshole for having one. ( I have a rescue, didn’t get it for the breed) I’ve had a couple Pits over the years, and they’re just as sweet and gentle as any Shepherd I’ve ever met, and I’ve never seen a cop use one to maul somebody.

Where did you find that? I couldn’t find it. You don’t see them used by cops because German shepherds are used by cops because they can be trained to attack and also stop on command.

No, because I’m useless. It’s pitbullinfo.org, the 3rd or 4th thing that comes up when you google “dog bite statistics by breed”
