the big difference is a GSD bite is like a car crash....a p it bull bite is like a plane crash...I came real close to shooting one about 20 years ago while checking up on one of my parolees.....a few years ago in San Jose my blind ex-wife and her guide dog Woodson were attacked by a pit bull...thank God for the by-standers that came to her aid.....it could have been a real bad seen.....these dogs always seem to be in the hands of owners that should not have them....Ed  ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Short-Nguyen" <marcatoshepherds@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Kathy Tank" <rbuffdogs@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, July 9, 2012 8:38:04 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Sterotyping PIT BULLS I find this whole conversation ironic.
