Can someone explain what you mean when you talk about “pit bull jaws”

Not the PP but pit bull jaws are a combination of physical structure and inherent breed behavior. A pit bull has a very strong bite force or PSI and it’s breed inherent behavior is to lock on, shake and thrash, and not let go regardless of whatever pain it s in. The pit bull also lacks the bark as a warning behavior that many dogs use first. The combination is really dangerous.

A chihuahua might be aggressive and stubborn but it lacks the bite force to kill. A Shepard might have a high bite force but it’s inherent behavior is to bark as a warning and bite/release.

So if you’re getting a shelter dog, odds are great that it is a.) a mutt and b.) has some pit in it, whether you can see that visibly or not.

And seemingly lately, Chow Chow. Everyone I know getting their dog's DNA done is getting part Chow Chow results in the last year or two. I have often wondered if the Chow Chow lobby is paying off Embark or something.

My dog’s dna was mostly chow and pit bull. Made sense to me but I generally consider dog dna testing to be more fun and not an exact science.

pp you are so wrong. Pit bull jaws are the same as any other dogs. Sure, they shake their prey but, guess what so do other terriers. Terriers were bred to kill rats. Here are the myths about pit bulls Btw, German Shepard's have higher bit force than pits. Pits also feel pain and they also give warnings. Just because you don't notice doesn't mean they don't give them

And yet pit bulls are responsible for 2/3 of dog bite deaths in the United States. You don’t think their physiology and behavior patterns might have something to do with that? Do you credit a different reason for that distinction?

I credit that bad people use see these dogs and use them to be "tough" Did you even read the link I provided? If a dog is chained to the yard, not fed, beaten and trained to attack other dogs what do you think will happen? Even then some pits are too sweet to do this ( hence Michael Vick's failed dogs) Also, media will say "pit mix" when there is any pit in it.

Please educate yourself.

Many dogs are mistreated. That alone is not enough to account for one breed being responsible for two out of every three dog-bite related deaths in this country. I only personally know one person killed by a dog, and that person was killed by a pit bull. I don’t understand why their defenders are so determined to ignore reality.

One of my neighbors has a PB and had that dog as a puppy and I know it was not miss treated. Neighbors went on vacation and their daughter took care of the dog. The dog bit her in the face. She needed plastic surgery. My Mothers neighbor in Florida Had a pit which they got as a puppy, my mom went to their house to deliver mail that was accidentally put into her mailbox, the dog ran around from the backyard and attacked her and she was bitten on her breast and knocked backwards. Fortunately the owner was right there as my mother was talking to him and he was able to immediately pull the dog off my mother. That dog had to be quarantined since he was not up-to-date on his shots. While in quarantine he bit the animal enforcement officers and they put it down.

I feel like I am educated. Still do not trust that breed. I have a poodle.

Pit bull jaws are not any anatomically different. And as PP said, they do not lock.

Bite statistics also are criticized for being inaccurate. People report being bitten by a “pit bull” when the dog is, in fact, not one. Even authorities such as police misidentify.

Poodles are great dogs and I am glad you are enjoying yours.

Pit bull jaws do not lock. But pit bulls have been mixed with terriers. A GSD will bite once and then let go and see if you got the message. Pit bulls will bite once and then again and again and again until they've either mutilated or killed you. They were bred for that.

They also are unusually quick to bite at anything that moves in front of them, this includes a new baby or a child, even if they've grown up with the family member. They don't have to be mistreated to bite, they are bred to be hair-trigger and that's what they do. They also don't "give signals", posture, the way other dogs do. That was bred out of them.

They are not good family dogs. No one should keep one, not OP, not anyone. How could you live with yourself if your sweet family dog bit someone's face off?

You are lumping all pit bulls together. The only dog that is considered a true pit is the American pit bull terrier. Here is an unbiased view of Staffordshire terrier
