The ONLY Shepard that I have know to attack anyone was one who lived across the street form me. kids would tease it, it's owners kept it chained up outside in freezing cold and pouring rain and just "threw" food scraps at it.

So of course it attacked me when I walked by with a bowl of spaghetti (don't ask) and attacked it's owner once when he pulled his chain.

Every other shepard I have know was docile besides it's heavy bark. They're more scared of you than you are of them. I still wouldn't have one around my child tho, they are too big for a child to control.
