You have the advantage of me. I’ve only ever known one JRT. He liked to chase bunnies. And butterflies.
I’ve never heard of a JRT killing a child or invading a home as a part of a pack and attacking a homeowner.
But, I don’t get out much.
Something most people don’t understand about pitts and other dog attacks is this...most of the time it is a case of a dumb dog playing rough that don’t know his own strength and doesn’t know when to back off. Pitbulls like to play rough. Play oftentimes turns into a squabble and some aggressiveness. All the bulldog breeds have a common trait that they are immature and don’t know when enough is enough. They never learn how to play properly. But the other trait common to bulldog breeds is an intense loyalty to a master and submissiveness. They are, after all, babies, mentally, and will do whatever the pack elders say. Other dog breeds have one of two responses to bulldog breeds(generally), they either see them as juveniles to be coddled, or see them as juveniles to be punished.
Have you ever seen a dog play with a rabbit to the point the rabbit is killed? or a cat, or a rat, or any little furry animal? This is how bulldog breeds fight. They do it because they like to. They do it because they don’t know when to quit. When a person is mauled by a pitt, quite often, the pitt is not trying to kill the person, but just playing with the person like a rag doll or a half dead rabbit.
Use this info to your benefit incase you should ever be mauled by a pitt. Be stern with your voice. Be an authority figure. Do not touch the dog. Touching invites rambunctious play that turns into a mauling. You are not as strong as a pitt and cannot man handle one like you can a poodle.
