What is the maximum jaw pressure of a German Shepherd?

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 substantially different. 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 it was bred for.
