This is obviously just my personal opinion of course but I think Jack Russels are far more naturally aggressive than any big dog that is seen all over the news for tearing kids/people to death ect. I reckon there are more people bitten by Jack Russels per year than Rottweillers, German Shepards and Pit Bulls combined and triple it
bollocks
And there we have it, another well rounded argument simply put -
'bollocks'!
Can't anyone on here back their opinion up when disagreeing with others? Or is that the standard reply atm?
ok here we go... simply put bollocks because as ratters knows me, face to face, over a pint I would say bollocks.
Any dog can bit, Any dog could do damage to any child... agreed? I think all this 'german shepards/jack russels etc are more dangerous and more likely to bite than any other dog is bull shit... its all down to the owners and the dogs up bringing. Our german shepherd is soft as shit... and that's the way he has been bought up. Same as skeggys jack Russell. As I said .,.. its all down to the owners.
Fair enough on the bollocks, just bit fed of people putting just that, seems that more people just like to say - bollocks to someone without saying why they disagree. But you have elaborated, therefore I will forgive you :17:
I don't agree that it is always down to the owner, dogs are mainly described as pack animals and therefore have an animal instinct in them that cannot be taken away, some of the best trained dogs put in the wrong circumstances can be extremely dangerous.
So if you were to say, a dog shouldn't be allowed around small children unattended, and claim that it would be the owners fault for putting the dog in that position, then I would agree it was down to the owner. But if you were to put a dog in a room with small child unattended and said to me, that dog is well trained it will not harm the child, then I would say that's nonsense. If the dog is in an odd mood, regardless of how well it's trained it could suddenly and without warning attack the child!
Obviously good training will improve the behaviour of a dog to a certain point, as equally as mistreating it can make it's behaviour dangerous. I don't know about breed to breed, I think we all make judgmental decisions on that by our own experiences, but as I have said, my wife works for the RSPCA, and she say that small dogs can be just as aggressive as the big one's but obviously their size carries less of a threat.
