Top 5 dogs with the most powerful bite force
5.Rottweiler: Rottweiler is a medium to large size dog breed who were used for guarding and herding but now are mostly used for search and rescue dogs, guard dogs and police dogs. They have a strong and masculant body which makes them a perfect candidate for guarding. In the ancient Roman Era they were indeed used for guarding dogs for their masters. Rottweilers are strong, energetic and a loyal companion and a guardian for its master and other family members. But they can be aggressive towards strangers, this is why early socialization is crucial for this breed. With a bite force of 328 psi(pound per square inch) they come 5th on this list.
4.Wolf Hybrid: A wolf hybrid is a mix between a dog and a wolf as the name suggests. They are wolves but are more human friendly like dogs which makes them easier to train than actual wolves. Although there are many variants, most of them have a wolf-like appearance. As they are mixed between two animals with totally different behaviours, they can be quite unpredictable and hard to train. Expert guidance is extremely crucial for this breed. With a bite force of 406 psi, this beautiful breed takes the 4th spot on this list.
3.English Mastiff: The English Mastiff is a large sized dog, which can outgrow some humans. They can be easily differentiated by their enormous size, large heads and short coats. Their coats have a limited amount of colours but most of them have a black coat around their head. Even Though they look like the sumo-wrestlers of the dog world, they are more known to be gentle-giant and loving nature. These are among the few breeds believed to be related to the ancient dogs that fought lions, bears and other wild animals in the Roman Arenas. With a bite force of 552 psi they most likely prove this theory to be true and take the 3rd spot on this list.
2.Bandog: Bandogs are large, intimidating dogs and believed to be a mix between a Pit Bull Terrier, a Neapolitan Mastiff and several other dogs. These dogs are highly aggressive towards strangers and can break a human bone with ease. Unfortunately these dogs are rare and most kennel clubs don't recognise them along with other government bodies. They have quite a terrifying history as in 13th century England they were 'banded up'_chained_until they were in need of guard or war, hence the name Bandog. With a bone crushing bite force of 730 psi they claim the 2nd spot on this list.
1.Kangal: Originating from Turkey this beast of a dog has a bite force greater than a lion. They are used to protect livestock from deadly predators like wolves, lions etc. So, they need to have a strong build which they have. Although they are not as heavy as some other Mastiff breeds, they make up for it with their speed and agility. This gives them an edge over other dogs as they are much faster than them. With a bite force of 743 psi they are the heaviest bitters among all dogs.
