Bulldogs
Originally bred to bait bulls in medieval times the bulldog was built to endure rough treatment. Once bull-baiting was outlawed in the 1800's the breed nearly faced extinction. Thanks to many dedicated hobbyists the breed was brought back from the brink and selectively bred into the docile easy-going dog you see today. Questions regarding the care and history of bulldogs are welcome here.

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.

Easy. Use that play - dough stuff that you can buy in alomst any craft or activity shop. Mould it to the size of the birck you want only a little bit bigger, and hollow it out. then fill it with plaster of Paris or wet clay or whatever. When you come to take it out of the mould, the play dough might have dried. If so, brush it with a little water before trying to remove the finished brick.

Can a male English bulldog and a female Basset Hound have puppies on their own?
Yes, this is possible, but the Bulldog would likely need human assistance as they have lost most of their capability to mate independently. Matings between two Bulldogs need humans on hand because the Bulldog breed can no longer mate without assistance, nor give birth without a caesarian. These problems may be present in a mating with a Basset Hound.

The following quote was sent to me from Dr. Howard Evans, Professor Emeritus, College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University, Ithaca New York. We were colleagues in the veterinary college for four years. He is the author of the textbook, ANATOMY OF THE DOG, (the world's definitive work on the anatomy of the dog). His statement was in a letter addressed to me on March 26. 2002. His quote was: "I have spoken with [Dr.] Sandy deLahunta (the foremost dog neurologist in the country) and [DR.] Katherine Houpt (a leading dog behaviorist) about a jaw locking mechanism in pit bulls or any other dog and they both say, as do I, that there is NO SUCH THING AS "JAW LOCKING" IN ANY BREED.
We all agree that the power of the bite is proportional to the size of the jaws and the jaw muscles. There is no anatomical structure that could be a locking mechanism in any dog." As a Professor Emeritus from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University, I agree completely with their conclusion. and as to bite force here are the facts
Dr. Brady Barr of National Geographic (Dangerous Encounters: Bite Force, 8pm est 8/18/2008) - Dr. Barr measured bite forces of many different creatures. Domestic dogs were included in the test.
Here are the results of all of the animals tested:
- Humans: 120 pounds of bite pressure
- Domestic dogs: 320 LBS of pressure on avg. A German Shepard American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) and Rottweiler were tested using a bite sleeve equipped with a specialized computer instrument. The APBT had the least amount of pressure of the 3 dogs tested.
- Wild dogs: 310 lbs
- Lions: 600 lbs
- White sharks: 600 lbs
- Hyenas: 1000 lbs
- Snapping turtles: 1000 lbs
- Crocodiles: 2500 lbs
Can american bulldog have blue eyes?
It is clearly impossible, but you can get a mix-breed of American Bulldog and it'd have blue-eyes! The real answer to this question is that it may and may not be possible, but there may be a special-born breed of bulldog with only blue-eyed dogs!
