MYTH: American Pit Bull Terriers lock their jaws.
Dr. Brisbin: "The few studies which have 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.

Out here in Houston, the Obama Dog stuff was front page news because Bo's breeder lives in the Houston area. The Chronicle talked to other families who had purchased puppies from the litter that produced Bo. I'm just glad the First Family finally got their dog so the Prez can back to dealing with more important issues.
