I highly doubt Britster meant to offend or insult anyone personally by what she has written. She has never been known to do so in any of her posts. I think some people are taking what she wrote way out of context.
I do have to say though that I do agree with her about JRTs. Most are very high strung and quick to act with out thinking. I've worked with them in shelters, hospitals, and grooming salons. I've also interacted with them in dog parks, on walks, and in friends and family's homes. Morgan has been attacked by a JRT twice at a dog park when she was younger. Two different dogs, months apart, two different parks. The dog entered the dog run and immediately went for her. Now when ever i see a JRT I immediately pick up morgan until the dog leaves or I have watched the dog interact with others well. More often then not, the owner of the JRT has to drag the dog out of the park by the request of the other dog owners because the dog is out of control.
I've also been bitten by a JRT and he almost took my bottom lip off. So believe me this JRT was able to open his mouth up enough to be a huge threat, even if its not as big as a pit bull.
My mother was attacked by a black Lab while she was out for a walk with a neighbor. They were just walking down the sidewalk when the lab burst out of his house and jumped my mom. Luckily she had a down jacket on so the dog bit never reached her skin. The jacket was torn off of her by the dog and while he ripped the jacket to shreds she and the neighbor were able to run away. The dogs owner never came out of the house.
With that in mind, I would never suggest any breed be banned. Its absurd. Dogs were domesticated by people and it is the responsibility of the people who own the dog to keep it that way.
