I have to disagree with this statement. I have always been a dog person and have had several different breeds over the years. If what you say were true the most puppy's mother's would snap their necks when the carried them back to their bed. I have had more labs than anything and can say in my experience they have incredible control over the amount of force in their bite. Chip my bud that passed last year would wear you out playing tug of war, Would snap a downed bird's neck, and could pick up a water balloon returning it to DS without breaking it.
That was not something we trained him to do. They know how hard they are biting or when. The problem IMHO is when we either give them or train them with bad information.
