This bitch looked like she put the top hangers in the top of the head at the base of one ear with the bottom hangers in the jaw muscle under the other ear, and then pulled it all together, or at least it looks that way.
Combine a propensity for the ear, decent mouth and being on the high end of pound for pound strength, that particular dog is really hard to get to. The pound for pound stronger ear dog wil dominate and control until the other is spent. A lot of 'good' dogs check up under that. EWO
