In the 20th century, other groups of dogs replaced the bloodhound as objects of dread, most
notably the German Shepherd (which, in 1925, a New York City magistrate said should be banned; [5] and which were, in fact, banned in Australia from 1928 until 1973 [6]-RRB-, the
Doberman Pinscher (frequently associated with soldiers of the Third Reich), and the Rottweiler (portrayed as the guardian of Satan's child in the popular 1976 film THE OMEN).
Some breeds are especially prone,
notably the German shepherd,
Doberman pinscher, English springer spaniel, Akita, golden retriever, Rottweiler and Shetland sheepdog.
