Well I'm sorry you don't believe me, but it's a scientific certainty. My source is my sister, a Veterinarian working as a critical care surgeon. I'd be willing to bet that she knows far more about the anatomy of dogs than you do based on your own observations.
MYTH: American Pit Bull Terriers lock their jaws.
Dr. Brisbin: "The few studies which have been conducted of the structure of the skulls, mandibles and teeth of pit bulls show that, in proportion to their size, their jaw structure and thus its inferred functional morphology, is no different than that of any breed of dog.
There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of any kind of "locking mechanism" unique to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier.
