Locking jaws on dogs is a myth.
btw I hope Rachel lives outside of the UK. I can't see too many people shouting about the proud ownership of several Pit Bulls in the UK after last weeks Panorama.

Any animal can get "lock jaw" the disease, even people. But, no dogs jaws Lock the way they say Pitts and Bulldogs do.

it is correct no dog has a locking mecanisim in the jaw. However a dog of any breed can decide "I ain't giving this up" and holod on like grim death...

There is no such thing. No breed of dog has any sort of specific locking mechanism in their jaws that all other breeds do not have.

if you are speaking of tetanus then yes... even dogs can get "jaw lock" more commonly referred to as "lockjaw"...
but there is no breed specific form of lockjaw

Horses can get tetanus just like humans. I have never heard of it in dogs. I would assume all mammals could get it if it is bacterial.

Do you mean lockjaw? They can get lockjaw.It comes from having another infection first though.

No - but they are extremely small and annoying. Kinda like the canine version of Timmy Mallet.
