Is there a difference between the jaw of a pit bull and a lab? Is there a difference between the pressure applied and is there a "locking" of a pit bull's jaw vs. that of a lab? I have heard that there is a huge difference. Is this true? If it is, I think that is a distinction. Also, is there a difference between when a lab bites a kid? When a lab bites, is it usually once or twice or is it an all out attack that is hard to stop? The stories I read of pit bulls seem to be an all out attack that takes multiple people to stop and not just a dog bite. I am not for government intervention except severe consequences and mandatory put down of dog when it attacks, but these are the concerns I have about pit bulls. Last summer Joey Porter's two pit bulls got out and killed a neighbor's miniature horse. He got his dogs back. I have a major problem with that. But, something tells me the neighbor can now buy 30 or so miniature horses.

I have always heard that the "locking" story is an urban myth that actually reflects a perception of the pit bull's stubborn streak. Being stubborn myself, it makes for a good match...
