Bite Force

The bite force of a Scotch Collie, like most domestic dog breeds, typically ranges between 250 to 350 pounds per square inch (PSI). PSI is a unit used to measure the strength and pressure of a dog's bite.

While Scotch Collies have a respectable bite force within this range, it's important to note that bite force can vary among individual dogs due to factors such as size, jaw structure, and genetics. Other factors, such as the dog's motivation, temperament, and bite technique, can also influence the perceived strength of a bite.

It's worth mentioning that bite force is not the sole determining factor of a dog's potential for aggression or the severity of a bite. Proper training, socialisation, and responsible ownership play critical roles in ensuring a dog's behaviour is safe and appropriate.

Regardless of a dog's bite force, responsible dog ownership includes taking necessary precautions, such as properly training and socialising your Scotch Collie, providing appropriate supervision, and ensuring the safety of both the dog and those around them.
