This is difficult to answer as there are many different factors involved when measuring the bite pressure of a dog and these cannot as of yet be accurately measured. The bite pressure values of dogs are sometimes cited as ranging from 305 to 798 pounds per square inch (psi) and sometimes from 7111 to 49782 psi. The most common answer given for the bite pressure of Staffordshire bull terriers (with all kinds of breeds being encompassed in this category, including Pit bulls, bull terriers and American Staffordshire terriers) is that the bite pressure of Staffies is 2000 psi.
However, Staffies do have some of the strongest jaws of all the breeds of dogs.
