I have no idea if you are full of crap. I used the adjective to describe the statement that the dogs jaws lock. If you find support in my comments for anything else that you stated then fine with me.

These dogs, more than any other breed that I am aware of have the ability to bite and hold onto their prey even under duress. I presume that dogs like rots and other similar style dogs that were used historically for war can do this too. I'm no dog expert.

If your argument is that no dog locks their jaws on their prey, then maybe we are arguing symantics here. Bite and hold on under duress is what I mean by lock on. Pits can or cannot do this? I say they can, do and have. I also say this ability has likely caused their popular bad rap and may have influeneced their use/training as fghting dogs.

If I'm wrong, please point out specifically how I am so I can better educate myself on the topic.
