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.

i noticed, same article, above
bottom line ive said the whole time...its all about the owner and environment.... they have been bred for worse in the past and as a bloodline and in general they are capable of dangerous things...
I havent said pitbulls are any worse than another breed... and i like pitbulls they can be great looking and acting creatures....but i still wont trust one fully....not really any dog other than my own for that matter...
I think i can honesly say he(my dog) would never bite someone unprovoked.... he is just so docile its not funny.... when other dogs approach him to fight, he just turns his side and pees on them...shit you not...funniest thing I ever seen...
