I own a Jack Russel, and I've heard people say that they can be snappy bad tempered dogs, mine is just the opposite, loves to play and anyone who throws a ball for her is a friend for life. However, I've seen her take and kill a rabbit so I know she has it in her to be violent and I am careful not to let her get into situations where this could be a problem (never leave her alone with children for example)
I think that a well fed, well looked after, happy dog is far less likely to be a problem regardless of breed. Yes dogs are pack animals and have an instinct to protect/dominate but a responsible owner knows this and takes the proper precautions and ultimately it MUST be the owner who is held responsible.
Now here we have the voice of reason
