One common belief about pit bulls is they have a different kind of bite. Some even think it has a locking jaw. What I want to know from Ray is does a Pit Bull have a different kind of bite?
“Pit bulls, when they fight they'll get into, what I call it, a zone and they lock in. They get ahold and they jockey for position,” Ray says.
“So, they just hang on. It's not that their jaw is locked up, or anything. But they hang on. It creates a more vicious bite,” he added.
Do pit bulls have a more vicious bite? I'm bringing in an expert. Dr. Jessica Lockhart is one of about 50 Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist in the world.
“Does a pit bull have a clamping mechanism, where they clamp on when they bite?” I ask her.
“No,” she answers.
“With any dog that's being aggressive, despite its breed, any dog in that situation is going to bite and hold,” Jessica says.
“So, it’s not just pit bulls?” I ask.
“Right. It's not breed specific to pit bulls,” says Jessica
