[21twelve]

Our neighbors had a pit bull that would stay at our house once in awhile. Sweetest thing. It would climb into our daughters bed, go under the covers then pop it’s head back up and lay on the pillow. It was cute, and it could be there when I was reading to my daughter her goodnight book or telling stories, but I made it leave when it was bedtime (much to the wailing of my child and wife).

“I know - it’s a sweet dog - but even sweet dogs can nip sometimes if it gets kicked in their sleep or something. And they have such powerful jaws - no, it’s not sleeping there.”

Heh - “Seeing as these are the most powerful jaws of ANY canine, and it’s face is right next to yours - you got to ask yourself one question. Will it bite you or not? Well - do ya feel lucky? Punk?”

Nonsense. First, wild canine's have much more powerful jaws. And amongst domesticated dogs, the jaw strength of a pit bull pales in comparison to that of a Rottweiler. Even a German Shepherd has a stronger bite than a pit bull. And the Mastiff (as well as the Dobermain), has much, MUCH higher bite force.

What is more, not only do these other dogs have much greater bite force than a pitbull, they are also substantially stronger, making them a far greater potential threat.

A Dobermann has more bite force than a Pibble.

So does a GSD.
