1. Lockjaw is a myth that has been dis-proven for decades – There is no extra bone in the head, there is no ‘super ability’ and in fact pit bulls hold on less of the time than larger breeds.

2. The bite threshold for a pit-bull is higher than the average mutt and even the Labrador – meaning the pitt will not snap as quickly when being provoked – but when they do the shape of their head enables more muscle mass – as with ALL larger dog breeds – and thus the dog will exert a bite. It is not the most powerful bite, it is not the fiercest bite, and the dog has conscious control over the bite. Labs and German Shepherds along with Mastiffs and any breed that has a larger head has a stronger bite.

3. The Staffordshire/Pitt Bull(which is basically a Staffie that has been bred with other dogs making a more mutt-like dog or non standard dog of its own now with its own breed) was once the All American Dog and represented the United States during the First World War. In addition to that there were several decorated World War One dogs that were indeed Staffordshire/Pitt bull dogs. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergeant_Stubby

4. My dog, which is likely a mix of some kind – but looks closest to the average Irish Staffordshire Terrier is no more aggressive or easy to bite than my German Shepherd. In fact the Staffie is braver and more willing to head out into anywhere with blindness to anything perceived as “dangerous”, however he is only afraid one one major thing that the Shepherd is not. Thunder and firecrackers. In fact, when he hears a storm miles away I know because he starts to shake and hides under my bed’s blankets or under my desk.

All this bull-hype over the Pitt/Staff is just like what the NAZI’s did to the Jews if you look at it, antagonizing them, de-houndifying them (de-humanizing equivalent), making people indifferent to their suffering and furthermore making people hate them to the point of – well take a guess here, go ahead, can’t get it? oh too late for you then – EXTERMINATION. If you want to get rid of all “possibly” dangerous dogs then you have to kill all the Irish Staffordshire Terriers, the Stafford Shire Terriers, the American Staffordshire Terriers, the Pitt Bulls, The Labrador Retrievers, the Great Danes, the Irish Wolfhound, the Saint Bernard, the Greyhound, the Blue Tick Hound, the German Shepherd, the German Short-hair, the Mutts of the world, and any other dog over 30 lbs because “it MIGHT be a threat!”. Then you need to kill all the large cats of the world, Lions, Tigers, Pumas, just because they might be a threat. Then Panda Bears, and Elephants. After that you kill all the whales and all the elks and deer because they “MIGHT” be a threat. Then you need to burn the rainforest’s to keep anything that MIGHT be a threat including bush babies away from us almighty humans. After you have destroyed everything bigger on earth you will need to kill other humans – because more humans kill humans than animals kill humans. That way no human can be killed by another human again! Yes, that’s it! Kill every human that can hurt another human – and eat them after processing since all the cows and pigs will already be dead because they “MIGHT” hurt you.

Or you could just go out and jump off a bridge – because you “MIGHT” hurt another human.
