When I was with the dog pound the absolute worst attacks were from pits. Once they started they would not stop (bad owners 95% of the time)

Jack russell terriers are fantastic dogs. But they need to be challenged and are bred to kill. (Like mm 76 said, mink rats, even foxes) We would get bites on peoples hands who reached down to pet the dog but the worst were kids. More face bites than any other dog i ever saw. I saw a bunch of kids that will have scars for life.

My dog is dog aggressive but loves most people although it takes a while with kids for him to warm up.
