Hamstring a pitbull instead. Their jaws lock hard when they bite down, and cutting their throat will still cause you to have to pry apart their jaws. But if you cut his hamstring, he will release what he has a hold of and try to snap at your hand.
Even tugging the hamstring of any canine will cause it to lose it’s grip and turn it’s head back to the “attack”. By instinct, canines go for the hamstring of their prey and reflexively will defend their own hamstrings over even their throats.
Good to know. It was worth getting out of bed today, I learned something.
How will pepper spray do against any of these dogs?
I have it, I carry it, but if it will just tick them off, I would rather carry something else.
A good and bad reply.
The hamstring information is valid and very good advice. You got into the mind of the dog with that. Just be VERY careful, and faster than you ever thought you could be.
The MYTH about pitbulls’ being able to lock their jaws is just that, a MYTH. They have very strong jaw muscles, but other than size and the musculature, there is absolutely NO difference between the jaw structure of a pit bull and a chihuahua.
Ask any vet.
And how long do you think those jaws would stand up to my castration knife. I could cut his whole head off in less than a minute.
