That is ABSOLUTElY not true! Pits do have locking jaws. I am from New york and I can't tell you how many rescue situations I have been in where these beautiful babies have been bred for fighting and maiming and have to be put down, not do to humans but the way the react to other animals. It is humans, us, that did this to these beautiful babies and make their name almost infamous with danger. I have been there when the pit was in a fight in the ring with another dog and either killed or sprayed with a fire hose because they would not release their opponent. They are gentle giants and will respond as so to obedience, kindness and discipline. It's not the pitt it is the owner and how they raise them. A pitt and a Yorkie are fine in any situation as long as the owner is responsible and trained in handling them.
So many lies and rumors are spread about them and it is simply not true.
Don't judge unless you know and I know first hand
