Dont agree! We have a cat and a 2 year old Jack Russell. They both get along really well and the cat is def the boss out of the two! Our dog is right at the bottom of the pecking order and he knows it. My 9 year old daughter and many friends have never had a problem with him at all and neither have me or my husband.
Yes he is small as he is a short legged dog, but we do not have a huge house or mammoth garden to house a bigger dog and i love the breed. Plus our daughter loves small dogs.
Our dog does also not bark unless we tell him too. I hate dogs barking and pulling on leads sounding like they are choking to death!! we spent a lot of time training our dog.
He is a joy to have and so was my other Jack Russell dog i had for 16 years with also no problems.
If they are looked after and trainined properly most dogs will be fantastic. JRT do believe they are 10ft tall sometimes though...
It's the constant yapping from these type of breeds that does my head in. Perhaps they have more to say than bigger dogs? The trained ones are not the problem.
On the aggressive point in the past they have run up to my ankles snapping and snarling, what do you thing my obvious response should be to the annoying little thing at my ankles. Haha of course ignore it, but the thought does go through your head.
My father moved about a mile away and we lived for a while in the old family home. Every other day we would open the front door and he would be sitting outside waiting on the step and we had to call my father to drive around and collect him
Imagine seeing it from the dog's point of view.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Where's my master going?! I'm afraid of heights! Nooo. Cold up here and something stings.

This is fun, I can get used to this. Ah, he's setting me down. Oh, look at the cute little birdies, maybe they'll want to play."
