Is it an idiom?

Hello!

I came across this 'phrase': there wasn’t the same bite to the angry young dogs. Could anyone comment on it or tell me what it means.

Thank you for your answer. Cheers!

'Angry young dogs' are the younger, more aggressive members of a political party, etc. 'Bite' refers to the acerbity or aggression of their verbal attacks. This sentence refers to a milder attack by a senior member of the organization.
