Hello all,
My dad and I both bought a GSD from the same litter. I noticed the power when they clamp down during biting is different between the two dogs. My male has more power vs the female. I have been playing tug with my male EVERY day etc. My dad has not been playing tug with his female every day. Is the difference in power due to the foundation of playing tug with my male?
If the pups are pre-adolescent, then the sex of the pup probably doesn't matter--
like 5 yr old boys and girls are equally tough.
The biting down muscle, the masseter, can be exercised like any other -- plus, practice, and your pup knowing that you like this game, that could contribute.
I don't know anything about bite sports! Hopefully some real people will answer!

I personally beleive it's genetics. Even within the same litter, some will bite harder & fuller then others,just like some will be more 'driven' then another. But yes, females being usally smaller will most likely bite a bit lighter then a male the same size.
I have a 65 lb female that I have been told by decoys, that have worked her, bites pound for pound harder then most 80+ lb males that they have worked. Genetics. She bites very deep & hard & has since day one.
She had been worked alot on a rag & then tug since a young pup & is raw fed. Now how much of a difference that makes as opposed to a kibble fed dog with less tug work...Who knows. I still think it is mostly genentics. Either they have it or they don't. JMO
