Can a police dog break your arm?

If it bites you on the arm can it break it?

[ṼṏẌṏḭḊ]

Probably man. They'd definitely do some crazy damage regardless of broken bones if they got you

Maybe amputating too. A redneck in my got his finger bitten and he had to amputate it.

Highest recorded bite force of a German Shepard is 238 psi.

And for the correct answer, it depends on the area being bitten and how dense that bone is.

Doubtful, most of them are German Shepherds, doesnt have that kind of bite power, can tear up your arm for good though.
Great Dane can break your arm for sure, they were originally bred as slave hunters.
There was even occasion where some woman went to a walk with her Great Dane and it pulled so hard from the leash that it broke her arm.

What about a pitbulls bite force?

Weaker then German Shepherds 235 psi.
Rottweiler is 328 psi.

Not much really compared to wolf or hyena. Large wolf can bite up to 1200 psi, hyena up to 1100 psi.

These little brutes can 100% bite bits of a human. Biting a grow ups full leg off in one bite im not too sure about but a childs leg, yes.

Actually the dog with strongest bite is Doberman Pinscher, up to 600 psi.
Great Dane is considered more dangerous because of the sheer weight, they can be up to 200 pounds and so much mass behind attack is usually brutal.

A rabbit can break your arm if you don't work out

Most aggressive dogs are Rottweiler, Doberman Pincher, Pit Bulls and Boxers.
Great Danes and Bullmastiffs are also considered quite dangerous because of the sheer weight and size, Bullmastiffs are more aggressive, Great Danes are bigger.
German Shepherds, Alaskan Malamutes and Huskies are pretty up there too but are not that aggressive usually.

That's technically possible but unlikely. Your arm bones are relatively thick and strong, a dog could theoretically snap them but it'd take as much bad luck as good management. And a really, really big dog in a really bad mood.

What could very easily happen is muscle or tendon damage. That wouldn't incapacitate you straight away, but give it a day or two and you may as well have broken the arm. I should know, I took a fall two years ago and it took me three months before I could fully straighten my arm again.
