I've heard it referred to as lockjaw many times. But it's just a term used. Second to the Hyena, pitbulls exert the strongest jaws at 20,000 lbs of pressure. Later, QD.Originally Posted by SL65AMG

they have some serious jaw strength and that's for sure.
Link?Originally Posted by quickdodgeŽ
No link. Like I said, no conclusive study has been done for exact bite pressures. I will give you this link though that debunks alot of myths on the Pit Bull. It's not an isolated article either. Almost all of the ones you see have this same information in it or similiar.Originally Posted by Specvee

QD, 20,000 lbs of pressure? A Nile Crocodile bites at around 5000 psi, Great Whites around 6600 lbs. 20,000 has to be a typo because I know you are too smart not to look that up.

I was asking QD for a link, not you. 20,000 lbs of pressure is a lot and there's no way a pitbull can produce that.Originally Posted by Glides
Nope, he may have added 2 zero's by mistake.Originally Posted by Specvee

Hello Brain Train. I was saying that there is no link to 20,000 lbs. And I believe I JUST said what you just said. Thanks for the reply though, it was well thought out and useless.Originally Posted by Specvee

I don't know who pissed in your cornflakes, or why you even quoted me in the first place. I know what he was saying was wrong that's why i asked him for a link to back up his post.Originally Posted by Glides
Oh, you already said what I said? well 'Brain Train' I was agreeing with you're statement...
My post was not meant to serve a purpose other than to tell you I wasn't asking you for the link and that I agreed with what you said. Why you even responded to me is beyond me...I guess you couldn't be outdone by my useless post so you decided to top mine...I get it now
Is that of just the dog family (Which a Hyena is part of) or all animals? Because I think a Crocodile/Alligator would have more.Originally Posted by quickdodgeŽ
Which I've heard Rottweilers have the strongest bite. But the reason they aren't used in dog fighting is because they are too slow compared to a pitbull.
For the pitbull owners out there. What is it that drew you to a pitbull. We all buy dogs for a reason. I got a Border Collie because I wanted an extremely smart dog that had great endurance and could catch frisbees,balls,etc. I know other people like labs because they are fairly athletic and easily trained to catch frisbees and such. And people get small dogs for well I have yet to figure out why people pay huge money for a small dog that does nothing but bark, pee, poop, and nip at you and all of it in your home.
Hyena's have one of the strongest bites per square inch period. As far as domesticated dogs, its pretty subjective, but the highest recorded number comes from a Rottweiler ~325psi. Almost 50lbs more then a pit. Though the Cape Hunting Dog of Africa is said to come in around ~340psiOriginally Posted by Smittie61984

to me a pit is one of the most beautiful dogs... the variety of colors and what not.. (mine is like a buckskin/brendle) they've got great personalities... great protectors... and overall perfect size.. i hate lap dogs... BUT i also don't want a 100 pound dog... shedding isn't too bad cause they don't have crazy long hair...Originally Posted by Smittie61984
