Best Answer

German shepherd can have a bite force of 238-800 lbs.

It is very hard to tell especially with the GSD. Because this breed is too famous and for the same reason is one of the most popular Dog Breeds in the USA. The main reason is that GSD were bred widely by too many breeders and more than 50% of those breeders are disqualified back yard breeders, so the quality of each individual GSD will be a difference. More over, GSD breed has been bred to used in many different tasks and they also appear to be different sizes. Therefore the bite forces of GSD may varied depends on individual, for example, a special military GSD who was bred for many generations to obtain the strongest bite force possible will probably has a bite force far stronger than a wolf or even a matiff.

In general, a well bred German shepherds may have a bite pressure of upto 450 lbs on average. But a special individual military german shepherds can have up to 800 lbs, partly depends on how big the dog is and what purpose they were bred for.

What are the bite pressures of a German Shepard bull mastiff rottweiler pit bull and bovier de flanders?

Pit Bull Bite: 235 pounds of force German Shepherd: 238 pounds of force Rottweiler: 328 pounds of force Lion: 691 pounds of force Hyena: 1000 pounds of force Dog bite strength is proportional to the size of the dog. So of the four listed breeds, the pit bull would on average have the least bite force, the bull mastiff would average the highest bite force, and the German shepherd, rottweiler, and bouvier would be between. Of course, a dog's bite strength on any given bite can vary widely, dependant on the level of agitation and bite-inhibition of the particular individual. The answer-changing nonsense below does nothing to answer the question and is entirely falsified. German shepherds have the most powerful bite. Current bite pressure record is 450-1000lbs (made by a German shepherd) their average bite pressure is 450 pounds

Mostly depending on the dog but overall, the German Shepherd. They have been proven to have a stronger bite pressure and they are more athletic and strong than a rottweiler which is also very strong.
