SignUp Now!The Mali imo is the dog best suited for law enforcement. In Europe they are used quite freaquently. Not so much over here. They are definately around but in my 13 years our dept. has never had one. Well, we had two that were mixed and they happened to be the best K-9's we have had.
The Mali is used almost exclusively with KNPV or French ring competitions. They can simply perform physically in ways the Shepherd can't and have drive that is just simply over the top. There are plenty of excellent Shepherds tho.
Btw, Pits do not have the strongest bite pressure either like everyone seems to think.....![]()
Humans bite at 120 pounds.... Stay away from Tyson.
Domestic dogs: 320 LBS of pressure. A GSD, Pit and Rott were all tested using a bite sleeve with the computer instrument in it. The Pit had the LEAST amount of pressure of the 3 dogs!! Lol... some people believe that Pits bite at 3500 lbs. of bite pressure. That would snap a humans bone in half thru a bite suit. So that is just complete BS. They do have a higher tolerance to pain tho it appears but do not bite harder then other protection dogs.
The Malinois will bite harder then any of them at about 350 lbs.
Hyenas have the strongest K-9 bite at 1000 lbs. of bite pressure.
Brett not to rain on your parade but a friend of mine is a top dog trainer. he trains & sells dogs all over the country to police depts. he exclusively uses Malinois because of there speed & agility, not bite pressure.The Malinois will bite harder then any of them at about 350 lbs.
Oh im not saying they are used because of their bite pressure. I was just pointing out that they bite a little harder then other dogs. Mali's are used because of their agilty and abilty to have incredible drive.
