Reply #44: the lobster main claw does a 200 to 300 lb pinch that can not be removed from a human except by

killing the lobster - so your numbers are impressive.

Personal observation of family pets suggests there is a large difference between Goldens and pit bulls in jaw strength as used to break bones - and indeed the pit bulls are more interested in the game than the Goldens - but my small sample size of course proves nothing.

some Readings even give average jaw strength by breed - so there may be more studies beyond the one you quoted that is giving rise to the idea that pit bulls have a stronger bite than other dogs.

In any case my daughters pit is a loving animal - albeit one that at 3 yrs old works hard to justify its name - "Chewy" :-)
