Lock jaw

Question
What is lock jaw in pit bulls why does it happen?

Answer
hi and thank you for your question.

Contrary to popular belief there is no such thing as a lock jaw. No animal can have a mechanism that will not open just cause it happened. It is true that pits have the strongest jaws, behind only hyena's in the dog family if not in the whole of the animal family. It is said that they can exert upto 20,000pounds of preassure in a single bite. I do not know how this was found??

To answer your question, thier jaws are extremely hard to open, as they are just that stubborn. In order to open them you need a break stick, which you put into the space between the pits jaws and literally "pry" the jaws open.

There is no lock jaw, and dont let anyone else tell you so.

cheers
