This is from a news article out of Canada: Two family dogs in Wrigley, N.W.T., got into a melee with a pack of wolves on Sunday and took one down before their owner scared the wolves off. The pack showed up in Wes Pellissey's yard when he let his two dogs out. Listen to Trail's End's Allison Devereaux talk with Wes Pellissey about the Wrigley wolf pack Pellissey says his Staffordshire (Pit Bull) began fighting the wolves, and his Shepherd/Husky cross defended the Staffordshire. The Staffordshire pinned one small wolf before Pellissey was able to load and fire his gun to scare the pack away. "The wolves have been seen quite frequently," he said. "But there's a lot of loose dogs in town and they've been picking them off lately and they're getting braver and more brazen. This is the most brazen attack that I've ever heard." Pellissey says he had to shoot the wolf his dog took down because it was so badly injured. Some residents say there's a wolf den near the airport, and the animals are seen crossing the road between the den and the community's dump. Pellissey says he expects some people will set traps and snares in order to catch the pack. There is a picture that was taken showing the wolf the Pit Bull took down. The wolf was bigger than even the German Shepherd/Husky cross.
I have heard people say that the grey wolf's bite force is 1,000 to 1,500, but I am starting to have doubts about that. Just to put it into perspective, a lion's bite force is 650 lbs. I find it hard to believe that a wolf has a significantly higher bite force than a lion. There is a National Geographics video where a male grey wolf's bite force was measured that seemed to show a much more realistic number. They measured the grey wolf's bite force at 406 lbs.
A lion is still a cat and cats don't have jaw strength like dogs. A Hyena is much smaller than a lion but has much more powerful jaws. A Kangal has 743 psi and its just a dog. Cats are not known to have the strongest bite.
@@mynewpuppywithalia.parker8011 I hear what you are saying. However, a hyena is not exactly part of the dog family. There are also smaller cat species than lions that have a bite force of 1,500 lbs like the jaguar. And while I have also heard that the Turkish Kangal has a bite force of 743 lbs, there seems to be no information I can find of that actually being the case. It seems more like a rumor than anything. It's possible, but, to my knowledge, there has not been any measurement of a Kangal's bite force like there have been for a grey wolf. One more thing, the large male grey wolf that National Geographics measured for his bite force was 405 lbs.

My pit built different she won't back down from nothing. I would put my money on her against any wolf.

Ok first pitbull would at least make the wolf bleed and break a bone or something and make them limp but they would die

The fact that Wolves have to hunt for their food! Great point!!
Thanks
