Which dog has the largest fangs. Which dogs bite harder and more painfully. Dogs have the strongest jaws. Top rocks

Strong jaws, in the bull terrier and in the pit bull terrier. Terrible dogs, you do not know what to expect from them. In general, I think that these dogs should not be started, it is life-threatening.

Such a dangerous question. It’s better not to anger dogs that have strong jaws - as they say, it’s more expensive for yourself

Before writing, I figured out the breeds, the following turned out: Doberman, Rottweiler, Pitbull

The strongest jaws bull terrier or pit bull

No wonder these dogs are called fighting dogs. In the battle against other dogs, you need a strong jaw

If such a dog bites, then they say softly that they will not let the victim go alive.

Even on TV or on the net they say that the bull terrier attacked the owner or a passerby

However, it must be added that these dogs are pretty good defenders and are good with children.

You can read more about such dangerous dogs that have a death grip here.

I remember, as a child, I was struck by a story about a bulldog who grabbed a bear and, no matter how hard he tried, he could not unhook it, and in this way the hunter caught the bear. There is even such an expression: bulldog grip. So the bulldog can also claim the title of Strongest Canine Jaws.

The strongest jaws and, accordingly, the bite in dogs of fighting breeds. Such as: bull terrier, pit bull terrier, Neapolitan mastiff. The owners of such dogs should properly educate their pet, not provoke aggression in it and walk only on a leash and in a muzzle.

For some reason it seems to me that the bull terrier has the strongest jaws. Just when I had a shepherd dog, she grappled with the bull terrier, so we could not open his jaws.

Oddly enough, the strongest jaws would seem to be in a dog whose breed bull terrier.

Since the jaw compression force of this dog is twenty-five atmospheres. When they bite, their jaw sometimes snaps and they cannot always open it themselves. There have been cases when dogs were unclenched their jaws with a stick, because they themselves cannot always open their jaws. Because they hang and dangle like rags during a bite.

The strongest jaws of the Pit Bull have a bite force of 126 kg / sq. cm



One look at this dog is enough to believe that you have a very serious dog in front of you. This is a dog with very strong muscles. Which belongs to the category of fighting dogs, but at first it It was bred for hunting large animals. From hunting it began to be used since the 17th century for bull-baiting.

There is another cute dog breed dogo mallorca, other names e ca de bou or Perro Dogo Mallorquin.



Shepherd's dog, not very aggressive, but ready to defend its owners bravely and fearlessly. bull dog used to go out into the arena with a matador, so that in case of need, when he had a hard time, rush at the bull and switch attention to himself. During this time, he could get up and continue the duel with the bull, or he was completely carried away in his arms from the arena.

Pit bulls, bull terriers, rottweilers, mastiffs, dobermans, alabais, Caucasian shepherds can also boast of great strength of the jaw muscles. Caucasians and Alabai are especially scary due to their large weight.

The Mallorcan Bulldog has the strongest jaws. This breed is one of the rarest today. This dog even took part in the Spanish bullfight, helping the matadors. The strength of the jaws is simply enormous, it allows you to cope with the bulls.

In Russia, these dogs began to appear not very long ago. Dogs have short hair, rather compact size and original appearance. In addition to all this, they have a fairly calm disposition.



The strongest jaws of all dogs are in the Pit Bull Terrier. I heard that in some country it is even forbidden to keep pit bulls and bull terriers in apartments, as they pose a potential danger to others.

Personally, I am always unpleasant when the owners walk dogs of these breeds without a collar.

The jaws of the hyena clench the most, but it is wild.

And between domestic dogs, the competition is mainly between Alabai, Tosa Inu, Pit Bull and Neapolitan Mastiff. The jaws of these dogs can create a pressure of 29-33. atmospheres.

But the champion is still Neapolitan mastiff, his jaws develop a pressure of 552 pounds per inch (3805 kPa).

A dog is an animal that can please the owners, touch passers-by and enter into a complete stupor from fear of strangers. For example, children may be afraid of small breeds and calmly treat large ones, while adults often bypass large dogs, not paying attention to miniature ones. However, danger lurks in unexpected places. Dog handlers have tried to compile a list of breeds that are considered dangerous to humans under certain circumstances.

Attention: TOP 13 dangerous dog breeds does not mean the list is undeniable! Only the increased risk of danger from the dog was taken into account, nothing more. A particular dog may be harmless. The peculiarity of genetics, upbringing, training and psychotype of a particular representative of the four-legged is combined. It is not worth arguing or challenging the following: TOP-13 is compiled taking into account the recorded incidents of dog attacks, only emphasizing the potential for danger.

Caucasian wolfhound

Sheepdog is known as the best protection of livestock from extraneous encroachment. A powerful dog does not trust strangers, requires competent and persistent training. The breed is distinguished by the following qualities:

1. Fearlessness and assertiveness.
2. Height at the withers - from 66 cm.
3. There is no maximum weight limit. Minimum 45 kg for bitches.
4. The image of a wolfhound is applied to the postage stamp of the Russian Federation in 2015.
5. Originally from the Caucasus. Bred by breeding work in the USSR.
6. Known names are aboriginal and simply Caucasian Shepherd Dog, North Caucasian Wolfhound.

pit bull

We are talking about the American Pit Bull Terrier and the breeds:

• The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is considered a companion, but was previously used for fierce fights, rat-baiting. It is important that the pet does not have aggressive qualities. Otherwise, the dog is dangerous to family members.
• The American Bulldog is considered especially dangerous in America. It is used as a working breed, boar hunter, often deals with cattle. Due to the developed watchdog qualities, dogs show superiority in strength. We need to work on obedience.
• The American Staffordshire Terrier is suitable for a person who has already dealt with dogs. Representatives of pit bulls strive for independence, they are aggressive. It is advisable to focus on diverse loads, to engage with a dog handler.

German Shepherd

The breed is known for its "biting" temperament. If you show patience, devoting enough time to education, training lessons, bad things will not happen. If you let the development of the dog take its course, do not be surprised that one day the "German" will bite a passerby or owner. It is useful for a German Shepherd breeder to know:

• the attack of the "Germans" was recorded on relatives and people;
• lack of education can result in aggressive behavior of the dog;
• the bite force of the rock is equated to a value of 1060 N (newton);
• there are known cases of dog attacks on owners after several years of friendly life;
• from the bites received, the victim may die within a couple of days;
• the danger can be zero at home and at the limit - on the street with low socialization.

Rottweiler

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advocates for the danger of the breed. Rottweiler attacks are the cause of death every year. Cases are known in Russia and abroad. The bite force of a Rottweiler is higher than that of a German Shepherd, reaches 1460 N. It is important to train the dog, otherwise the pile of power will turn into a huge danger for the owners and others.

Rottweiler breeders should take into account the unmotivated aggression of dogs, which is not recognized as the norm. They try not to allow aggressive representatives of the breed to breed so that this property is not transmitted to new puppies. At the same time, dogs often become pets and calmly endure children's antics.

Consider the incredible endurance of the described breed. This is considered a virtue, but when attacked, it turns sideways to a person. The same goes for strength. It is important not to skip dog training courses, regularly educating the dog.

Huskies and Malamutes

Surprisingly, representatives of the most beautiful breeds are included in the list of dangerous ones! Malamutes and Huskies are often seen together. These are excellent sled dogs, distinguished by:

• increased energy,
• attractive appearance,
• working qualities - the predator instinct is active.

Attacks by pets on people are infrequent, which is why they are dangerous. We do not expect a dirty trick from friendly breeds, but it is worth understanding: as long as a living creature has claws and teeth, the beast is a priori dangerous! It is important to carefully approach the content and education, reducing the risk of such an attack.

If you compare huskies and malamutes, the former are more dangerous. Huskies are working animals, socialization is not developed by the main quality. The Alaskan Malamute is a riding breed that exhibits character by hunting small animals. Choose your pet and cattery carefully.

doberman

The military and police breed should have a balanced temperament. According to the standard, Dobermans have a strong psychotype, there are exceptions. Due to the direct purpose of the breed, aggression towards strangers is often traced. It should be understood that the owner is responsible for aggressiveness towards strangers. The owner will have to cope with this difficulty.

Hostility is rare, but it manifests itself even to family members; ideally, Dobermans sharply distinguish between good and evil. Adequate and psychologically stable dogs are easily left with small children after an active walk or training lesson.

Recently, attacks on humans by Dobermans are difficult to meet. It's good, but it's wrong to relax. Better stay alert. The size of the dog is large:

• 68 cm at the withers,
• 39-40 kg of weight.

The body is solid muscles, which means that when attacked, it is difficult to get away without being bitten. The breed is alert, but intelligence is highly valued. You should not shake at the sight of a dog, but it is foolish to relax.

chow chow

The soft and fluffy Chow Chow beast is far from harmless, as pet owners claim. Everyone wants to assure others that the pet is the best, but you need to adequately face the truth. Chow is not a toy for children. The appearance of a cute animal is deceiving.

1. the breed is distrustful of strangers;
2. often wary of the human race;
3. does not like children, screams and displays of feelings.

It should be borne in mind that mistakes could be made when breeding an animal. Violation of the psyche is not uncommon, but it is not written on the dog's forehead! The owner of the dog should show adequate dominance, engage in education, and outsiders should not climb into the cute face, so as not to be bitten.

Boxer

In boxers, aggression is inherent in nature - this is how the breed was formed. Do not be surprised or argue with natural things. The owner can correct the behavioral feature of the pet by making the dog the favorite of the yard. What you need to know when dealing with a dog:

• Increased aggression is manifested towards dogs, towards humans - rarely.
• Loud barking is characteristic, frightening any ill-wisher.
• They act as a member of the family and an ideal guard of the territory.
• Due to the strong jaws, the bite is powerful and painful.
• Cases of attacks on people - 2-3 per year around the world.
• The greatest danger is for the attacker, not the owner.

Akita Inu

The danger from Akita often comes from males. They are dominant and try to become the main ones in all areas of life. But after all, the head must be the owner - a man! This is extremely difficult in modern society, when an animal is kept in a city apartment, rarely contacted, not to mention rare and short-term walking. It is easier not to re-educate the Akita Inu breed, but to initially protect it from aggressive behavior.

1. Try not to introduce your dog into an unfamiliar environment.
2. If you are traveling with an Akita, support the dog, be there.
3. Keep your dog and children safe from each other. More often than not, this applies to strangers, outsiders kids.
4. Do not let friends and strangers approach the dog.
5. Akita attack - protection of oneself, owner, food.
6. Engage in training - let the dog not rush in case of protection, but make a grab.

Dogo Canario and Dogo Argentino

Beautiful and large dogs of the Great Dane subspecies are loyal, gentle and patient, as well as stubborn and embittered. There are not many cases of breed attacks, but dogs do not cease to excite the minds of people. Fatal attacks are especially scary. If you are still alive or only need medical attention, this is a reason to rejoice in luck.

• The Dogo Canario was bred as a fighting dog. The beast developed ruthlessness towards animals and people. Freely breeding the breed is not only dangerous, but also prohibited in some regions. Why risk acquiring a beast?
• Dogo Argentino is strong and muscular. The dog is designed to hunt wild boars. When withdrawing, aggression towards a person was actively eliminated, which does not always help to relieve tension among passers-by. In the UK, for example, owning a Dogo Argentino is banned!

brazilian mastiff

Otherwise, the dog is called Fila brazileiro. Alertness and aggression in dogs is in the genes. However, we are talking about strangers who are perceived a priori as dangerous. The temperament of the breed is sharp, it is dangerous to be suspicious for such an animal.

Due to temperament, Brazilian mastiffs are banned in some countries for breeding and keeping. The best defense of a person is the complete restriction of contact with the Fila Brasileiro. Dogs are used as guards, protectors and hunters.

If you like the breed, try to follow the rules:

1. regularly engage in education, attend training lessons;
2. try not to invite strangers into the house;
3. if there are often guests in the house, create an aviary for the temporary stay of the mastiff;
4. check if the breed is prohibited for keeping in the country, region.

danish hound

The German Mastiff (Great Dane) is a breed known for its size:

• The growth of males reaches 90 cm.
• The height of bitches varies from 72 to 84 cm.
• Weight about 80-90 kg.

Ideally, the dog has a strong disposition and does not go for provocation, showing aggression. However, the dimensions of the dog speak of its ability to harm a person, especially a child. The beast is so large and massive that it can easily knock an adult man backwards. You won't get injured. But what if you meet an unbalanced representative from Germany? Just imagine the dimensions of the largest among the recorded dogs:

1. Giant George from Arizona (USA). The height of the dog was 110 cm with a weight of 111 kg! The dog died at the age of 7 for reasons unknown to the world.
2. Zeus from Michigan (USA). Zeus was 111 cm tall and weighed 75 kg. The dog also died early - at 5 years old. Dogs, in principle, do not live long - 6-7 years.

st bernard

Rescue dogs are known for their gigantic size. Dogs worked as rescuers in the Alps. In addition to the general picture, there are features. Large dog breeds are for the most part wary, suspicious, and aggressive towards strangers. The task of the owner of the dog is to socialize the beast. It is much easier to teach a pet to communicate with people and animals from puppyhood.

With this method, it will be possible to prevent the aggressive behavior of the St. Bernard on its territory - in the place of residence, which the dog carefully guards and protects from uninvited guests. But an uninvited guest may be a neighbor, relative, or just an acquaintance invited to the house!

We bring to your attention the ten animals with the strongest bites in the animal world. There are animals that would most likely fall into this top ten, but the strength of their bites has not yet been measured due to the complexity or high cost of measurements. For example, a white shark, which should have the strongest bite, but there is no exact measurement of it except for theoretical estimates. The Tasmanian devil has the strongest bite relative to its size, at 13.6 atmospheres (14 kilogram-force per square centimeter), which is only slightly larger than that of hyenas.

10. Leo
42 kgf per sq. cm

An unexpectedly low place for the king of beasts. Lions are the only social felines in the world. They almost always hunt together, which is probably why they didn't have to develop strong bites during their evolution. Another reason may be that they kill their prey by biting the trachea, which does not require a strong bite. Lions hunt at any time of the day, but most often at night. They can go five days without water, but prefer to drink daily if possible.

9. Tiger
74 kgf per sq. cm


Tigers are the largest members of the cat family and hunt alone. The sizes of tigers reach 3.3 meters and weigh about 300 kilograms. They hunt mainly at night. Like lions, they usually kill their prey by clutching the throat, thereby blocking the flow of blood and air. They have a strong bite that is almost twice as strong as a lion's bite. At the moment, the number of tigers in captivity is greater than the number of wild tigers. They usually avoid humans, but in some conditions they may attack humans and livestock.

8 Spotted Hyena
77 kgf per sq. cm


Hyenas have one of the strongest bites in the animal kingdom - 77 kgf per square centimeter. With their bite, they can even bite the bones of giraffes. Most likely, the fact that hyenas are scavengers determines their strong jaws. To get to the bone marrow, which is not of interest to large predators, you need strong jaws.

Although hyenas look like dogs, they are actually closer to cats and belong to the feline suborder, not canids. Hyenas can kill a dog with one bite. Despite popular belief, hyenas still hunt themselves, and lions, ironically, often steal prey from them. Like lions, hyenas are social animals.

7. Grizzly
84 kgf per sq. cm

This subspecies of the brown bear, predominantly found in North America, is known for its enormous size and aggression. Despite their size, grizzlies can reach speeds of 56 kilometers per hour. Mostly grizzlies eat nuts and berries, but sometimes they hunt. In Yellowstone National Park, for example, they hunt other animals.

Grizzlies are considered more aggressive than other bears. This is due to the fact that, due to their size, they cannot climb trees, and therefore they have developed such a kind of protective mechanism. In addition to aggression, during the course of evolution, grizzlies have also developed strong jaws that help them defend themselves against wolves and other predators. Grizzlies weigh between 300 and 500 kilograms. They can be dangerous to humans if they come across a mother with cubs, but grizzlies do not consider humans as prey.

6 Gorilla
91 kgf per sq. cm

Gorillas eat plant foods, so it's strange to see them in this top ten. In fact, there is little surprise here. Gorillas feed on plants as tough and durable as bamboo - for this they had to develop strong jaws and neck muscles.
Gorillas used to be seen as big scary beasts, but more recently they are seen as "gentle giants". They are our closest relatives (closer only to chimpanzees), and their population is rapidly declining (only 700 mountain gorillas remain in the wild). Gorillas can climb trees, but most often they prefer to be on the ground. They usually live in communities of 30 individuals, led by a dominant old male. Gorillas are predominantly delicate creatures and do not pose a danger to humans.

5 Hippo
128 kgf per sq. cm

Hippos are large and strong representatives of herbivores. They are one of the most feared animals in Africa. Hippos are aggressive and defend their territory by capsizing small boats and attacking humans. The bite of a female hippopotamus was measured, as the males are too aggressive, but even the force of her bite reached a huge value of 128 kgf per square centimeter. The word "hippopotamus" comes from the Greek language and means "water horse". The closest relatives of hippos are whales and cows. They belong to the artiodactyl order, which also includes horses, camels and goats.

4. Jaguar
141 kgf per sq. cm


Jaguars have the strongest bite among felines and mammals in general. They live mainly in North and South America. Jaguars kill with a bite to the head of the victim. Like many other big cats, jaguars hunt alone. Jaguars have been known to kill anacondas and caimans. Jaguar bites are so strong that they can even bite through the shell of a tortoise. The word "jaguar" comes from the language of the American Indians and means "killing with one jump." Although smaller than their African and Asian relatives, jaguars are the largest felids in the Americas.

In the southern United States, jaguars are thought to have disappeared for over 100 years, but recently there have been rumors that their population in Arizona may develop. The largest number of jaguars live in Belize, in the Cockscomb Basin reservation.

3. Mississippi alligator
149 kgf per sq. cm


The Mississippi alligators are one of only two species of alligators that have survived (the other being the Chinese). Their population currently stands at 5 million individuals, of which 1.2 million live in Florida. Their natural ranges are Florida, Texas, Louisiana, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. Crocodiles also live in these areas. They feed mainly on fish, turtles and small mammals. In a recent National Geographic study, an alligator bite was estimated at 149 kgf per square centimeter, but their bites can be even stronger, since this study did not measure the largest member of the species.

2. Salted crocodile
260 kgf per sq. cm


Saltwater (or saltwater) crocodiles have the strongest bite of any specimen in the National Geographic study. True, they did not choose the largest crocodile either. If you estimate the bite force of the largest crocodiles, you will most likely get a bite force of 500 kgf per square centimeter.

The range of combed crocodiles runs from eastern India to southeast Asia and northern Australia. Their "diet" includes buffaloes, fish and even sharks. Australians affectionately call these crocodiles "salts", but there is nothing gentle about these giants. They are responsible for more attacks on humans than any other crocodiles (other than the top ten).

1. Nile crocodile
352 kgf per sq. cm


In a National Geographic experiment, the bites of Nile crocodiles were weaker than those of saltwater crocodiles, but most other sources state that Nile crocodiles bite with a force of 352 kgf per square centimeter. Nile crocodiles are usually about the same size as saltwater crocodiles and have the same bite force. Both of them can take first or second place in this list, since it is difficult to choose which individuals to test and difficult to get how to conduct the experiment correctly.

Nile crocodiles mainly feed on fish, but like their relatives, they will attack any animal that is nearby, such as zebras, birds and small hippos.

Thanks to the work of dog breeders, there are more than four hundred dog breeds today. Some representatives, such as the Pekingese, have seen the rise and fall of ancient empires, others have appeared more recently. A separate place is occupied by guard dogs, they are out of time and fashion, people love them as true friends and reliable guards.

When choosing a breed of dog that will play the role of a “security guard” or a house watchman, special attention is paid to speed, distrust, and the ability to make independent decisions. Not the last place is occupied by the moment, who has the strongest jaws. What dog breed has a powerful bite that can stop an intruder?

Not with teeth alone

Which dog bites the most? The one that really wants to bite. It looks like a joke, but only partly. The strongest jaws in dogs are not yet a guarantee that they will be used. There are breeds in which aggression is genetically absent - Labrador, Golden Retriever. Although they are not inferior to the German Shepherd in their strength and mass, these dogs are not capable of attacking a person.

Among representatives of guard breeds, it is rare, but still there are good-natured specimens that do a poor job of protecting the owner or property. In this case, the problem lies in education, under the guidance of an experienced dog handler in a Rottweiler, or perhaps awakening the inherent potential.

Anatomy of a bite

In fact, a dog is a construction of bones and muscles. Considering it purely from an engineering point of view, you can determine which dog breed has the strongest jaws. There is a clear correlation of physiological features.

For "biting" the pet must have a massive head with a large mouth. To maintain balance, such a muzzle should be attached to a short neck, which reduces the load on the spine. The optimal ratio is equal in size to the cranial and maxillary regions. In this case, the grip is quite deep and strong. In breeds with an elongated muzzle, for example, Russian Borzoi, with the strength of chewing muscles equal to the Doberman, this is why the bite will lose.

The short jaws of bulldogs have great strength, but due to their special structure, they have a so-called "dead grip". Reduced grip and bite area. Breeds with a shortened nasopharynx have a weak sense of smell, and clinging to the enemy, they lose maneuverability and become vulnerable. It's hard for them to move quickly.

Golden mean

Knowing the aspects that affect the bite, one can understand that the strongest jaws in dogs of those breeds that have a fairly large head with a wide opening of the jaws. In addition, the guard must have a sufficient level of aggression and courage to use his formidable weapon in battle. It was this rule that people were guided by, deducing protective guard breeds to protect a person and his property. In addition, guard dogs must have a calm disposition, be easy to train, and be devoted to the owner's family. An overly excitable dog does not respond well to commands and can turn from a protector into a troublemaker.

Dogs have the strongest jaws. Top rocks

There are breeds that are recognized as the best guards. They have the power of bite and the desire to protect the owner, his property successfully complement each other. Some of them appeared in the course of life, the main breeder was nature itself, living conditions did not allow puppies with insufficiently strong jaws and character to survive. Others were bred by man, but are not inferior in protective qualities and the ability to prove with their teeth to the enemy of the owner that he committed stupidity by encroaching on his property.

The strongest jaws in dogs of this breed are combined with large body sizes. The height of the male at the withers is 70 cm or more.

In addition, the blood of the herding and fighting breeds flows in the representatives of the CAO, which makes them vigilant, but balanced guards. Nature carried out selection in harsh conditions, and people polished the result. As a result, the dogs turned out to be ideal family members, kind to children and other animals, they are merciless to large predators and uninvited guests. On distant teeth, the bite force is at least 300 kg.

Cane Corso

Speaking about which dog has the strongest jaws, it is impossible not to mention this breed. True guards clearly divide the world into “us” and “them”.

They can safely be trusted with a child, a cana will lay down his life to protect the master's offspring. Defeating a dog consisting of 50 kg of iron muscles, possessing agility, fearlessness and incredibly sharp fangs is not an easy task. In the family circle, the animal is calm and good-natured.

Able to scare away with one look. Huge, lion-like dogs are able to make independent decisions and act according to the situation.

They must not be allowed to dominate, in which case the "Caucasians" are obedient and manageable. They do not have excessive aggression, but no one is allowed to offend the owner or encroach on his property. In terms of bite strength, it is not inferior to the two previous breeds - 13.5 atmospheres.

Rottweiler

More like a bodyguard than a watchman. He is focused on people, needs their society. Order is strictly observed in the controlled territory.

Sustained, calm, adequate, independent in decision-making. This breed needs a strict but friendly environment and thorough training. Great companion for adults and older children. The Rottweiler is friendly to kids, but may not distinguish between play with rudeness and react too violently. Compression force - 146 kg.

Excellent scent, lightning-fast reaction, sensitive ears and strong jaws are the hallmarks of the breed. It is worth adding here a remarkable mind, love for work and learning - and we get the perfect dog.

Sheepdog does not choose one owner, she perfectly obeys all family members. She must have a job - to guard the house, look after the children, accompany the owner. Without this, she misses, the character of the dog deteriorates. Force of pressure of teeth - from 120 to 315 kg.

Do not forget about pit bulls, bull terriers and American Staffordshire terriers. The strength of the jaws of these dogs is 120 kg or more. They have a strong grip, quick reaction, extremely maneuverable. Escaping them will not be easy. However, dogs of these breeds, with adequate education, are absolutely not hostile to humans and will not attack without a serious reason.

It is impossible to say unequivocally which breed has the strongest jaw in a dog. There are dozens of breeds in the world suitable for protection. And a representative of any of them in a dangerous situation can set a record that no one will know about.
