Not me no.
But it's a good job my mastiff doesn't have the same temperament or the little yappy tt would have been in lots of small pieces.

I worked as a delivery postie for 18 years and never met a Jack Russell that was any good,there nastiness only exceeded by nippy bloody collies.

laugh terriers are not my thing I admit, but I have met some nice tempered ones.

I am a collie person. They are good dogs as long as they are trained properly and kept entertained - much like any other dog really.

My two are lovely well mannered, well behaved, charming little dogs that wouldn't annoy or harm anything. OK they're antisocial little small dog syndrome psycho nasty bds when they want to be which is most of the time.

I've grown up with Jack Russells from when I was a baby to late teens, and they are ultra-territorial. As a baby, it would sleep under my pram and show it's teeth to anyone it didn't recognise, and was utterly fearless. Alas the first one got too big for it's boots and tried to take on a GSD that got too close to me when I was in a park.
The second one was equally as loyal, and equally as fearless and lived to a fair old age.

They are hairy chainsaws though, and I would quite happily walk into battle with one strapped to each arm.

Like any dog though, the temperament depends on how the owner treats and trains it.

Mine is ok as long as your not another dog, a tradesman, a postman, a neighbour, a pigeon, a squirrel, a cat, try to kick him out of bed, try to wash his food bowl, a rabbit or the mother in law.

Apart from that he's very calm.

I had a Jack Russell. He died at the grand old age of 15 and I miss him every day even now nearly 6 years on. He was an absolute star. As friendly as you like but a hell of a lot of character, energy and lust for life had been squeezed into that little body.

Once you have had a JRT, you'd never want anything else. Best dogs ever.

It is not the dog but the owner who is a psyco nasty bd, irrespective of the breed (the dogs)

Something I totally agree with when it comes to any other breed.
The poor woman with the snarling ball of nastyness dangling off the lead was very apologetic.
Even her other dog (a lab) was looking on bemused.
My dog had toddled over to say hello, (toddled not sprinted), the lab was wagging its tail, my dog was wagging its tail, the spitting ball of fury was tryin to fight the world.

Evil..just plain evil.

We have a Yorkie jack russell cross Rigsby and he has a lovely nature and such a great character.Poor little chap has been very poorly recently thought we were losing him but bless him he`s a fighter.

In fairness though I have come across some snappy little buggers in JR`s.

If your dog 'toddled' over to mine he would quite likely look like he was trying to get to your dog to rip his throat out too frown He has fear aggression, which is something I am working very hard on sorting, hence I have him on a lead where there are other people and dogs. I aim to not put him in a position where he feels the need to defend himself and fail him if he does. It is not helped when other people allow their dog to come over to him, even though I have put him on a lead, walked the other way, parked ourselves off to the side, etc, etc frown

The lady needs to work on a programme of desensitisation with her dog.

Again something I agree with to an extent.
My dog was off its lead, but never left my property. Her dog was the one on the 18ft extending lead that was halfway down my drive.
You would think it would get its cue from the other dog she had. Even that was lookin at the JR as if to say "WTF is up with you"
