∙ 12y agowhen a dog hunts for it prey, it must have a successful plan of latching its teeth into its prey. so locked jaws help the animal keep its jaw locked so it doesnt let go unexpectidly, lock jaws are evolved into dogs some dogs are born with it in its type of breed
THE ABOVE IS NOT TRUE! THE PERSON WHO WROTE THIS IS WRONG! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS JAW LOCKING IN DOGS! THE ONLY ANIMAL IN THE WORLD THAT HAS LOCK JAW ARE CROCODILES. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, DONT JUST TAKE MY WORD ON IT!
NOW THAT WAS NOT TRUE PIGS HAVE LOCK JAWS TOO! THE PERSON WHO WROTE THAT HAS TO DO THEIR OWN RESEARCH!
TETANUS ALSO CALLED LOCKJAW, ACUTE INFECTIOUS DISEASE OF HUMANS AND ANIMALS. CAUSED BY TOXINS PRODUCED BY THE BACILLUS CLOSTRIDIUM TETANI AND CHARACTERIZED BY RIGIDITY AND SPASMS OF THE VOLUNTARY MUSCLES. THE MOST CONSTANT INVOLVEMENT OF THE JAW MUSCLES ACCOUNT FOR THE POPULAR NAME OF THE DISEASE - LOCKJAW. REF- ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA. YOU ARE RIGHT IN THE FACT THAT PIGS DO GET LOCKJAW, WHEN THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM TETANUS! MACGIRL4678, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHERE YOU HAVE GOT YOUR INFORMATION ABOUT PIGS HAVING "LOCK JAWS" AS I CAN FIND NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT YOUR CLAIMS!

∙ 8y agoAs far as I know, the only animal with lockjaw (a jaw that locks up when biting in anger) is the pit bull. -The above answer is INCORRECT... I left the answer there because I really find it unfortunate that people perpetuate a MYTH like this without doing any research whatsoever on the issue. NO PITBULLS DO NOT HAVE LOCKJAW, nor does any other animal. If a dog has lockjaw it is due to a very serious medical condition called tetanus. If intersted about myths like this here's a link from a site dedicated to clearing the name of the Great American Pit Bull Terrier: .realpitbull.com/myths.html

Do boxers have lock jaws?
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
