Bite Force

The biting strength of Canaan Dogs is unknown. Their biting power, however, is believed to be between 200 and 400 PSI, which is on par with that of other medium-sized breeds.

Bite strength is just one aspect to consider when judging a dog's potential dangerousness; other variables, like temperament, training, and socialisation, are much more influential.

Canaan Dogs are not typically bred for strong biting capabilities like some working or guard dog breeds. Originally bred for herding and guarding duties, they have shown to be a smart and adaptable breed. If you have concerns about a specific dog's behavior or bite force, it's recommended to consult with a professional dog trainer or behaviorist for guidance.

Bite force, which is expressed in pounds per square inch (psi), may be affected by things like heredity, the shape of the jaw, and the amount of muscle mass. However, detailed and accurate measurements of the bite force of specific dog breeds are not widely available, and the information that does exist may not be consistent.
