Hey all,
I am considering getting a new dog and I am wondering which breed has the most powerful jaws? I have narrowed it down to Pitbull, German Shepherd, Doberman and Rottweiler but I am not sure which one to choose. Some people say that Pitbull has the strongest bite force but others say that it's the Rottweiler. I want a dog that can protect me in case of danger but also be gentle and obedient around children. Can anyone provide some insight into this? Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
I have experience with both Pitbulls and Rottweilers and in my opinion, Rottweilers have the stronger jaws. I used to have a Rottweiler and he was able to easily break through tough toys and rawhide chews that other dogs struggled with. He also had a very strong bite when it came to tug-of-war games.
However, I must also add that a dog's bite force is not the only factor to consider when choosing a breed. Both Pitbulls and Rottweilers can be excellent protectors and gentle with children, but they require proper training and socialization. It's important to research and understand the characteristics of each breed before making a decision.
Hope that helps!
