German Shepherds are not used in dog fighting because they maim
other dogs due to their fighting style. They charge their opponent
and go for the back of the neck and shake it to break the animals
neck. If they do not make an immediate kill they release and
retreat then charge again until they can finally kill the other
dog. They are very smart tactical fighters. Pitbulls, on the other
hand immediately go for the neck to try to "lock" their jaws around
it until death. This is why Pitbulls are only fought against other
Pitbulls since the fight can be decided once one dog has his jaws
"locked" around the others. The fight is immediately broken up with
a water hose and the dogs can fight again in the future. Past
attempts have been made to use German Shepherds against Pitbulls

It would be a close fight because German Shepherds have a bite force of 238 pounds of pressure measured bite force, and the American Pit Bull Terrier has a bit force of 235 pounds of pressure but most of the time a Shepherd and a pit would go strait for the throat so most likely the fist one to get a bite in would win.
