After that it was Doberman Pinchers same story for them now they are used properly and enjoy a good rep. Today it is Rottweilers and Pit Bulls who are favored by thugs and rednecks so they are the breed everyone is scared of. Tomorrow it will be something else the Irish Wolfhound or Bull Mastiff but it is not the genetics of the breed but the idiocy of the master.
Or Dachshunds. You never know. They're pretty mean.
