“The BIG difference in Pits is that they have the ability to lock their jaws”
No they don’t/ their mandible structure is just like any other dog just much more muscular and with a shorter snout providing bite power unlike any other canine. Google it there are plenty of vets who say their jaws don’t lock. All you have to do to get them to release their death grip is get a breaking stick and pry their mouth open.
German Shepards have more than 1000 Lbs of bite pressure, more than a pit. Germans also attack by their size, weight and momentum. They lunge and use this force, and you can watch them twist their bodies to bring down their intended victim.
Bull Mastifs have more bite pressure.
Rotties have more bite pressure, and tear like a shark, Chows have more bite pressure.
Pits are blamed in attacks when the dog is not a pit, a mixed breed is identified as a pit more often then not.
A lab will go through a plate glass window to protect the family. A Doby or Shepard turns on its owner, there have been a few deaths by dachsunds.
Any dog can attack, most little dogs will bite, should we put them down?
Horses bite, should they be shot?
Blame the people, dogs bite when not controlled, or abused. More often it is abuse by the people they bite.
