No, no dog does. There is no "locking mechanism" in any dog. Ever.

''Lockjaw'' is a myth, it is not a condition which appears in any breed. Staffordshire Bull Terriers have the same jaw formation as any other breed, although they do have very strong jaws.

Contrary to popular belief no breed of dog can 'lock' its jaw. Some breeds bite and hold, certain terriers and bull dogs. Their jaws do not 'lock'.

Strictly speaking no, staffies do have strong jaws and will hold on to things which is why they love tug of war type games. This is why it is so important to teach staffies to drop things as if they want to hold on they will and it takes a lot of strength to get something out of their mouth by force.

No. It is a physical impossibility for any dog to be able to lock it's jaws and then unlock them, The shape of their skull does not allow for such actions and if the dog was able to do so there would be no way for the dog to open them back up and there for it would die due to starvation and dehydration. APBT's have very strong jaws but not locking jaws.
