I would get a German Shepperd in a heart beat...but my German Shepperd I grew up with is about 16 old...so I don't give him one more year to go...I get sad every time I see him...and the wife has the same experience with her deceased Boxer...

Pits are nice...but everyone and their mother (literally) has one where I live...

I've been leaning more toward a Doberman lately though...
Have you considered an ex-racing Greyhound? There are many rescue groups for them. They are gentle and big couch potatoes, but they need a lot of exercise because they are used to running. Some are not cat friendly, but many are and from what I know about them, the rescue agencies do a lot of work to socialize them and place them with the best matching families.
