: This is not really a question, just more of a statement. My Jack, "Biscuit", is a full breed JRT and is just an angel. I have read all of your information and he must be a lab living in a JRT body because he is laid back, sweet, loves to be held and scrached. Everyone that comes to our house wants to take him home, he is just the best dog ever. He likes to hunt and chase birds, that is his life, but the agression is just not there. I feel lucky that he is so special, and want people to know that not all Jack's are terrorists.

Response:

Hi Mary,

There is nowhere on this site that states that JRTs are terrorists. And I've never met anyone who would call them that, unless they were people who got the breed not knowing what to expect.

And JRTs should not be "aggressive" towards humans at all. They are bold and tenacious, but that doesn't mean aggressive. Some terriers have aggression towards other dogs, and most will not get along with other animals such as cats, rodents, etc. But that's not about aggression, that's about prey drive.
