Bite pressure? PSI. - Page 8

When a dog sinks it's teeth into your arm down to his gumline, does it really matter how hard he's biting?

That wins my "best answer" award. ... But I guess it would matter, as it would be the difference between deep punctures and deep punctures PLUS a broken arm.

There is a show on the History Channel right now, The Real Wolfman, that listes the hienna as having a bite pressure of half a ton and the wolf as 408 psi. I would assume the GSD would be similar to the wolf.

very entertaining I must say actually I heard it was 250 psi for a shepard's bite. I was on Animal Planet and they had Policedog's in training and they mentioned the psi of a bite. Now being we discussed colors of the gsd blk tan blk/sable what about the WHTIES( Can I say Whities) for I have a WGSD and all I know as I look at his teeth (all of them) they look like bone crushers and skin rippers to me and I feel sorry for anyone who gets bit by him, NOT tht I want anyone to get bit.

my instructor says, GSD untrained around 300 psi, trained, considerably more, i can say from experience, after breaking up a fight between my 2 females, 300 psi would be a fair assumption, was 2 days before i could use my hands to zip up my pants

Even if this thread is kind of like Lazareth, it's always been an interesting topic. My experience with "biting" dogs is based on the military and civilian police canine. Having had the opportunity to see dogs trained to bite, in action, I certainly developed an opinion. An opinion based on observation and interviews conducted with the "test subject" so to speak. My opinion is not scientific, but is based on fact. My opinion is also a bit of a smart uh aleck response, but I mean every word of it. "A dog that engages on command; bites hard enough enough to bury his teeth to the gum line; remains engaged until commanded to release is all that's needed. Anything beyond that is nothing more than a form of saying - mine is bigger than yours'.

If you are talking about his video:

You are 100% wrong. Those dogs belong to members of my Schutzhund Club. The Pitbull is Aiden a SchH3 dog. The GSD is also a SchH 3 dog and the Rottie (from another club in the area) is also a SchH3 dog.
