Top Dogs with the Strongest Bite Force

Top Dogs with the Strongest Bite Force

dogs with the strongest bite in the
world we have been breeding dogs for
thousands of years all over the world
for many different reasons dogs are now
the number one chosen pet across the
world but there are dangers that come
with owning certain dog breeds depending
on why we’ve bred them some breeds are
famed for their soft mouth when they are
able to retrieve game gently and without
harming it whereas some are famed for
their strong bite dogs you wouldn’t want
to get on the wrong side of we can
measure a dog’s bite scientifically by
measuring the bite in pound per square
inch psi which tells you how much
pressure is exerted on one square inch
for example a crocodile’s psi is over
5,000 whereas a human’s is only around
120 to 140 as we’re talking about dogs
today the average psi for our canine
friends is 220 to 240 psi however the
dogs we’re going to be looking at today
are way above that figure the size of
your dog will have an impact on how
strong their bite is usually a small dog
will not have as large a bite force as a
dog with a large square head so without
further ado let’s look at the eight dogs
with the strongest Abidin eight German
Shepherd 238 psi German Shepherds are
now the most popular dog breed to have
as a pet across the whole world they are
also the most widely used in police
forces and the military across the globe
this is thanks to their great trained
ability but also fearless and protective
nature that along with a psi of 238
means that any criminal or thief would
think twice about doing anything wrong
originally bred as guard dogs German
Shepherds are now often trained in the
police to tactically take down criminals
that are running away their trainer
wears a special sleeve to avoid injury
while training them to bite the forearm
of the assailant although the German
Shepherd is eighth on our list its bite
can not only pierce skin it can also
break bones
so it’s by no means weak in comparison
to the other dogs on our list it makes
up for its bite force score with
ferociousness seven Doberman 245 psi
slightly higher than the German Shepherd
here in seventh place we have the
Doberman originally bred as the ideal
guard and protection dog it’s no wonder
that Doberman has a strong bite force
with their large square head and capable
jaw muscles they can break a man’s arm
in one bite that paired with being
territorial aggressive and energetic
make them perfect guard dogs as who’d
want to mess with one of these there has
been some debate over whether 245 psi is
a high enough ranking for the Doberman
as some dogs have had a score between
200 to 400 psi but it’s also claimed
those dogs were specifically trained so
the averages aren’t considered six
American Bulldog 305 psi in at number
six is the American Bulldog it’s often
confused with a pitbull due to their
stocky bodies similarly shaped heads and
mouths but they are a completely
different breed the American Bulldog
stands a little taller and has more
pointed ears but both were bred for a
similar purpose
this breed was originally a
working-class dog
taken by immigrants to the American
South the dog was taken with travellers
to offer protection on the road and in
new lands their bite is an impressive
305 psi for their size as they are
somewhat smaller than the other dogs on
our list at least in length their head
and mouth are the typical square set
that makes a strong bite the American
Bulldog bonds strongly with its owner
and will do anything to protect it this
along with its strong bite force makes
it a challenge for anyone picking a
fight with his owner 5 African wild dog
317 psi in fifth place we have the
African wild dog a relative of the
sub-saharan dog which means it’s both an
expert hunter but also relatively small
compared to the other dogs on the
list although the largest in its family
this read is still only a medium-sized
dog what he doesn’t have in brawn he
more than makes up for in bite this
breed is known to be hyper carnivorous
this means that over 70% of their diet
is made up of meat so they need a strong
powerful jaw to take down and make quick
work of their dinner in the wild their
favorite prey is the antelope a big deer
like animal that can run very fast
luckily due to the African wild dogs
slim frame he can easily catch up to an
antelope and thanks to his bite force he
can break any bone in a deer with a
single bite 4 Rottweiler 328 psi
Rottweilers were one of the first breeds
to be adopted by the police and army as
an attack dog due to their size and
brute strength although they were
originally bred to pull carts they were
also trained to be impressive guard dogs
as their weighty body along with their
sharp strong teeth made a match for
anyone trying to break in nowadays
they’re used more in search and rescue
operations in the police as well as
guard dogs in the home although they
have a powerful bite force lots of
people find Rottweilers friendly and
great family pets due to their happy
nature and eagerness to please 3 wolf
dog 406 psi in third place we have the
powerful bite of the wolf dog I wouldn’t
recommend having one of these as a pet
as the hybrid of wolf and dog can be a
little Wilder and therefore more
dangerous than another breed humans may
have been breeding wolves and
domesticated dogs for centuries the
first mention of the concept was 10,000
years ago originally it’s thought they
were bred for their aggression and wild
temper that made them excellent attack
dogs in battle that along with their
strong bite makes them a force to be
reckoned with
however people that breed these dogs do
find that due to a strong pack mentality
they can be trained to be less hostile
and make good guard dogs
two English Mastiff 556 psi Mastiffs are
known as a breed group with one of if
not the strongest bite in the world
because of their large head and super
powerful jaw they have an average psi of
over 500 however the Mastiff breed is
not known for its aggression and they
would far prefer to cozy up on the couch
with you rather than be outside guarding
the house despite their super strong
bite they rarely attack unless they feel
their human needs protection and as such
they are very good with children
however they need training to make sure
they aren’t destructive when left alone
in the house that strong jaw and playful
attitude can mean your pillows sofa and
even table could be in trouble if you’re
not careful one Kongo 743 psi in at
number one with an incredible score of
743 is the Congo originally bred to
guard land from animal attackers in
Turkey the Congo size and protective
streak make it the strongest and most
powerful dog on our list this dog has a
PSI score similar to a wolf and as such
can guard livestock as well as people
from wild invaders it can take down a
medium-sized predator in minutes and
it’s fearlessness alongside the bite
force of an incredible 743 make it a
match for anything these have been our
eight dogs with the strongest bite in
the world all of these dogs have crazy
strong bites that can also be trained to
only attack on command or not fight at
all to correctly train a dog it takes
time and effort on your part
