I have had both. My experiences with the gsd is when i was very young. She was a purebred and came from working lines. She was a great dog. She was eager to learn and please. She let me and the neighborhood kids do whatever we wanted to her. She wasnt the best gaurd dog, but she was loyal. At the end of her life she had a lot of health problems. Multiple hip surgies, and it was heart breaking. Some gsd's to tend to want to be dominat over small children, and that would be something you would have to watch and correct. I know of a few that think it is cute to see their gsd stading over their child, peeing on them and humping them (male or female). Which are all signs of being dominant. All in all they are a great dog high energy, loyal, easy to train, and lovable (if you love vacummming dog hair everyday off of EVERYTHING)


Now I own a apbt right now and he is the best dog I have ever owned. He is extremely high energy when we play and walk and he loves going camping and can keep up with our life style. But he can also be snuggley and lovable and knows when to settle down. He is very loyal and and affectionate ( get ready for lots AND LOTS of kisses and a lap dog). There is something special about this breed just read the post here of "why do we love these dogs" and you'll see what I mean. He has been great with my 3 year old and even checks on her before coming to bed. He loves children and knows when to be gentle and who he can play a little rougher with. Apbt's are not I REPEAT NOT gaurd dogs, they should except stangers as if old friends. I have had both and I dont think I will ever go back to any other breed. I love my little guy.

I hope that I helped a little bit. The only thing that I want to say again is that the gsd is a gaurd dog breed. The apbt is NOT
