''Lockjaw'' is not an actual condition and has not been found to exist in any breed of Dog. Staffordshire Bull Terriers do have amazing jaw strength for their size, but their jaw formation is the same as any other breed of dog.
Only if it has Tetanus.
No dog has a jaw that locks into place when it is biting, this is a common myth.
As far as I am aware, American Bulldogs dont have a particularly powerful bite, the Johnson type Bulldogs are bred to have an underbite, which impacts on how strongly they can bite.
This may be one of the reasons why this breed was not developed for dog fighting, but mixed with Staffordshire Bull Terriers to produce the 'Pit bull terrier.'
While all dogs are built with a strong jaw, in general, English Bulldogs are extremely strong and well built with a very powerful jaw. The strong jaw is used for chewing and tearing apart food.
No, lockjaw is a myth and doesn't exist for any dog!!
”lock jaw” is a medical condition to where the dogs mouth gets stuck when opening wide.
No dog has the ability to lock their jaw when biting. “Lock jaw” is a medical condition where ANY dogs mouth can lock when opening wide. It is not breed specific.
Are there any type of dogs that can lock their jaws? DOGS DO NOT HAVE LOCK JAW! IT IS NOT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE FOR A DOG TO LOCK ITS JAW!

What do u do to part a staff that gets lock jaw on another dog
Hi there, I own an American Staffordshire Terrier, very powerful dog including the jaw. My best friend owns a boxer and we had this exact discussion between ourselves about 2 years ago. We exhausted every avenue of "lock-jaw". Read every thing we could find about lock jaw and asked numerous Vets. They all had the same answer......No dog on this earth has "lock-jaw". The only case of a dog having lock-jaw was a dog with tetanus lock-jaw, it is very rare that a dog gets this type of disease , that is the only type of lock-jaw a dog may get. It's a medical condition , nothing to do with the actual "lock-jaw" I hope this answered your question...there is no such thing as a dog with "lock-jaw". Its a myth. Check out this site, its the one we found to be most creditable and he confirmed the "lock-jaw" myth http://pitstopnc.tripod.com/id2.html

No a pugs jaw DOES NOT lock. If you are having a dog with this problem you need to see a vet. It could be a simple tooth problem or somethiing genetic tho pugs are NOT given to having jaw issues.
tetanus has the tenancy to cause lock jaw if left untreated i.e un-innoculated persons etc. lock jaw is where the muscles around the jaw tence up and cause a closed mouth i.e lock jaw effect and the person will need to go to the doctors/hospital and have there jaw injected with a muscle relaxant and "pry" the jaw open again, if lock jaw is not treated immediately then cracked/smashed teeth can be a result of to much down and upward pressure on the teeth. very nasty, cheers
