Who would win Pit bull or German Shepherd for agility and intelligence?

I promise I'm not being hypocritical on this one; German shepherds for both. German sheppies are generally smarter - (in top 10 most intelligent dogs) and are commonly used for police work, search and rescue etc. because of this. Also, shepherds are bred to be agile. They are very common in agility competitions because of their lean bodies and power. If you would've asked who had more brute strength, it would be a Pit bully <3 but shepherds win this round!
