No.

It is a physical impossibility for any dog to be able to lock it's jaws and then unlock them, The shape of their skull does not allow for such actions and if the dog was able to do so there would be no way for the dog to open them back up and there for it would die due to starvation and dehydration.

APBT's have very strong jaws but not locking jaws.

Why does a pitbull jaw lock?

That is a myth. Opening the jaws of a pit-bull with a wooden pry bar, will take some strength but no mechanism to lock the jaw doesn't exists. All dogs have the same kind of jaws but the thing is the pit-bull is the only breed who could hang by the jaw for minutes because is more strong that any other breed.

What has more jaw pressure a staff or a husky?

the staffy has more jaw pressure as they are one of the few breeds that have lock jaw; as soon as it bites down on something its jaw 'locks' and it takes a lot of effort to open it up again think of a crocodile...they have lock jaw too Lock jaw is a myth! The truth is no one knows the answer to this question, as these two dogs would have to be tested. The so called "lock jaw breeds" do not necessary have the strongest bite. In a test between a Rottweiler, German Shepard and a American Pit bull, the Rottweiller actually had the strongest bite and the American pit bull had the weakest. Going by this, the husky is a big powerful dog, so i would be inclined to say the Husky would probably have the strongest bite.

How old is a pitbull when they can lock their jaw?

The infamous locking jaw is a myth, 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. 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.
