This site is all about gameness, Pit intelligence, W A, conformation, and J.P.
Does the american pit bull terrier has a locking jaw or jaw power?
No, they do not have either. To the best of my knowledge there is no published scientific studied that would allow any meaningful comparison to be made of the biting of various breeds of dogs. There are, moreover, compelling technical reasons why such data describing biting power in terms of POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH can never be collected in any meaningful way. All figures describing biting power in such terms can be traced to either unfounded rumor or, in some cases, to newspaper articles with no foundation in factual data. The few studies which had been conducted of the structure of the skulls, mandibles and teeth of pit bulls show that, in proportion to their size, their jaw structure and thus its inferred functional morphology is no different than that of any breed of dog. there is absolutely no evidence for the existence of any kind of LOCKING MECHANISM unique to the structure of the jaw and or teeth of the American pit bull terrier.
What is gameness?
Gameness in APBT's is a canine virtue that is most akin to the human virtue of unflagging courage. It is determination to master any situation and never back down out of fear. It was developed in pit bulls by many generations of selective breeding. It is what allows a pit bull to keeping fighting non-stop for two or more hours, in spite of broken bones, torn muscles, blood loss, dehydration, and exhaustion. But it is also valued by APBT owners who would never think of fighting their dogs. It is manifested in the can-do attitude of pit bulls toward any type of challenge, whether agility competitions, climbing up trees, or protecting their family against an armed attacker, etc. Generally speaking, a game dog is an emotionally stable, easy-going dog, especially good with kids. Gameness should not be confused with aggressiveness. There are plenty of aggressive dogs that are not game, and there are game pit bulls who are not aggressive toward other types of dogs. Aggressiveness will propel a dog into a fight but will only sustain him for the first few minutes. Gameness on the other hand will not necessarily make a dog fight-happy, but if the dog has no other choice but to fight, a game dog will fight until it wins or dies trying, and will keep going as long as necessary. Gameness is an inner quality of pit bulls. There is no way you can tell by looking at a pit bull whether it is deeply game or not the only test--and for many years the main criterion for selecting a dog for breeding purpose--is actually fighting the dog to see how it stands up to other dogs that have likewise already proven their gameness in the pit. Dogs that are emotionally unstable, or that fear-bite human beings are generally not game. If you want a nice pit, you're generally better off getting one that has been game-bred. These dogs represent the truest exemplars of all the best qualities in the breed.
Gameness, Temperament, and Pit Bull intelligence are my priorities in this breeding program.
