The most loving sweet natured girl around people and absolutely loves the grand kids and most other animals, and for the most part great around the labs, unless there is some excitement happening chasing a rabbit etc, then she just dives in and grabs the nearest Labrador going past, while it is a youngster she grabs there are no problems however occasionally she will grab the top bitch then all hell breaks loose and being a terrier they DO NOT back down, they could be breathing their last breath and still want to scrap, So now she goes to work with Hubby where she spend all day chasing rabbits. I will never have another one as they just upset the whole household, having said that, the breeder whom I got her off also breeds Jacks and she said the difference in temperament between the the Jacks and the Smooths is quite different, Jacks are far more more easy going. Have you thought of enrolling her in an obedience course, where she will have to deal with other dogs in a controlled environment.
