Why do people put stupid answers like Pit Bulls have 1500PSI? LMAO. Did they actually test this or what. Where is the evidence which backs this up? So you are making your choice off something thats not even true?
When it was tested ROTTWEILER HAD THE MOST PSI. This doesn't mean all Rotts bite harder then all Pits, but they are generally a larger breed with a bigger mouth and fuller bite. One of the problems with APBTs (in protection work) is that they naturally just do a bite with the front teeth vs full mouth bite.
According to this video of the 3 dogs tested. A GERMAN SHEPHER (238 PSI), PIT BULL (235 PSI) and ROTTWEILER (328 PSI) the Rott had the most PSI. Followed by the Shepherd and then the Pit Bull. Rottweiler out did the others by almost 100 PSI.

Here is also more info.
Dr. Brady Barr of National Geographic (Dangerous Encounters: Bite Force, 8pm est 8/18/2005) – Dr. Barr measured bite forces of many different creatures. Domestic dogs were included in the test. Here are the results of all of the animals tested: Humans: 120 pounds of bite pressure Domestic dogs: 320 LBS of pressure on avg. A German Shepard, American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) and Rottweiler were tested using a bite sleeve equipped with a specialized computer instrument. The APBT had the least amount of pressure of the 3 dogs tested.
Even though this test is "flawed" as only one dog of each breed was tested it is ridiculous to think any dog has 1500 PSI. Maybe you could get a very large, powerful hard biting dog that measured 400 PSI, who knows. Thats still no where near 1500.
No breed of dog has 1500 PSI...lol
Other animals which have been tested
Great White Shark 690 PSI (some sharks have measured less)
Hyena 800-1000 PSI
Crocadile 2000-2500 PSI (on average some have measured more)
There are other animals which have been tested too. You can research it. Skunks and turles have been I know.
I wouldn't take a bite from either. If I had to chose it'd be hard but probably a Pit Bull because of the size and bite type. I could maybe choke a Pit to death easier then a Rott because I'm a small person.
How can someone claim to have done research and then still make up stuff based on what they think and not what research has shown?
Pit Bulls also don't have locking jaws!!!! They hold on because they want to just like a ROTTWEILER, American Bulldog, Alano Espanol, Presa Canario, Dogo Argentino. Cane Corso, ect. If you watch dogs which engage people they don't let go. Its not only Pit Bulls, other breeds also keep their holds and shake. If they are trained they will out, if not you're kind of SOL until someone can get the dog off of you. Shepherds do not seem to have as strong of a grip when holding on. Of course they were not really meant for this nor do they have as wide set jaw as other breeds.
If I were looking for a man stopper I would take a Rottweiler. An APBT is smaller and on average probably less bite force, then the larger, wider mouthed fuller biting guardian breed. I would take a Rott over the GSD again due to size. A GSD is a capable protection dog and so is the APBT but they are generally lighter. I'm curious of other breeds bite for such as the Presa Canario.

Why don't we go ahead and perpetuate the myth that Rotties and Pits are all bad dogs. There are no bad breeds. Only bad dogs. And bad dogs are created by bad owners. We only here about attacks by Rottweilers and Pit Bulls in the news because these are the breeds against which the media wants to create a bias. Rottweilers get it doubly bad because they get it in the movies too. Anytime a movie producer needs a big mean ferocious dog, they use a Rottweiler and the movie-going public eats it up like popcorn. But it never occurs to anyone that if Rottweilers were really bad dogs, movie crews would not want to work with them. But you guys go ahead and keep thinking that because while I'm out walking my baby girl, she keeps the ignorant people away.

I was actually bitten by a Rottweiler as a 14 year old, and still have the scars to prove it on my left underarm.
It was a lovely friendly dog as well, but he felt he had to interfere
when his little master went down screaming in agony when he was fouled in a football ( soccer ) scrimmage.
The dog grabbed the first likely suspect ( which was poor
innocent me ), it felt like he ripped my arm off, these animals are strong !!.( he did rip about an inch of flesh )
After a visit to the hospital I went back to go see the dog, the poor animal was very apologetic and ashamed about it, and we remained friends.
Still....Rather a Rottweiler than a Pittbull when it comes to being bitten.

Rottweiler, a pit has more pounds of pressure per square inch in its jaws than a Rottie and at the right place and time, capable of snapping a bone.

A rottweiler I guess. Actually neither, but I think a pit has a stronger jaw.

I've been bitten by a pit bull, and still have the scar to prove it. lucky for me, she was only holding me, not attacking.
