Another reason is there are not as many Dobermans around as pitbulls and to an extent Rottweilers, 1 reason is the cost. Also these dog owners are usually more responsible because of the cost of the dog and will pay for training or train them properly themselves. Years ago all these dogs were in the spotlight as dangerous and viscous dogs. I'm not saying a properly trained pit bull won't attack someone, but it is far less likely to happen and a lot of times the dogs are provoked. Also a lot of what the media reports if you pay attention is almost always a loose pitbull which is part of my point of irresponsible dog owners. 9/10 a dog attack regardless of breed is in part due to a bad owner weather it's lack of training, improper training, or ghetto training (making them purposely aggressive but no control) coupled with insufficient fencing or leashing. I just wish the dogs were not blamed and instead the owners were made responsible. I'm not saying don't put down the dogs that due attack because most times those dogs can't be rehabilitated.
As a side note you have groups of people that will say the breed was bread for fighting and is the reason they are the way they are. This is just not true, bulldogs were also bread for fighting centuries ago granted the breed has been fucked by selective breeding and they live a horrible life now because of it and life expectancy is 6-7 years for most and they can't even procreate on their own now. You also have the Cane Corso (which I have now) this dog was bread for fighting lions and tigers in Ancient Rome, the gladiators would enter the coliseum with them, this is the reason their breed standard (although being changed now) is to have their ears cropped and tails docked.
As far as the gun control I was just comparing because it's similar in the sense of improper training in use of a gun is dangerous, improper storage is dangerous, and in the wrong hands they are even more dangerous.
like i said man, i have no problem with the animals at all, i just wouldnt own one due to the possible risk even as slight as it may be. i also agree that the owners should be held accountable for their animals actions entirely because it isnt always the animals faults. the military has banned pits and almost all the breeds you listed on military bases, so they all come with an extra bit of risk. i have a bull terrier myself and if he wanted to he could hurt you pretty bad as well but he isnt that big of a guy, so if he got out of hand i am pretty sure i could handle him. your dogs, i wouldnt be so confident with lol
