Plummer terrier vs Patterdale Terrier?
Plummer Terrier: The Plummer Terrier is mostly made out of Jack Russell Terrier, with a strong dash of Beagle (added for nose, voice and coat color), and Bull Terrier (added for toughness and head size). A red Fell Terrier was mixed in to improve the overall appearance. After a long period of out-breeding and culling, obvious genetic problems were worked out of the breed (they are as healthy as any today), but a new problem worked its way in -- today's dogs are sometimes too big for truly tight underground work. Perhaps that is not a problem if you are developing a dog just for ratting, which was Brian Plummer's passion, whom the terrier was named after[1] That said, early dogs were smaller than today's dogs -- a common problem in the world of working terriers. Patterdale Terrier: The Patterdale is a working terrier, and terrier work requires a high-energy dog with a strong prey drive and a loud voice. As a result, Patterdales are very energetic dogs, and can be quite vocal. It is not uncommon for a Patterdale to be cat-aggressive, and homes which have other small fur-bearing pets (such as hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs) would do well to think through the ramifications of bringing a working terrier into the house. However, as with all breeds there is variation. Some Patterdales are more animal-friendly, befriending (and cleaning) cats and other dogs alike. Patterdales are prone to the sulks if their owners pay attention to others. They do not enjoy travel by car, as it often upsets the dog to be confined for a prolonged period of time.
How would you describe the temperament of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier?
Jolly.They are jolly dogs.They are like that kid who laughs at himself when he does something goofy on accident.They have a joie de vivre and are fearless and just happy dogs.Now, they do tend toward aggression toward dogs and other animals - but even that feels less malicious than in other breeds. They just like fights, is that so wrong? They’re like Peter Pan attacking pirates for the adventure of it…Yeah, great dogs but also a lot of dog if you forget how powerful and willing to tussle they are.
Why has the American Pit Bull Terrier been known to snap or turn on their owners?
Any dog will turn on its owner if the owner is abusing, mistreating, threatening or otherwise making the dog feel frightened, nervous, insecure, in imminent danger. A dog will not usually do this the first time, or even the second or third time. When a dog finally goes after its owner, it is usually because it feels trapped, and with no other options.Normally a dog that is in the hands of a bad owner will try anything to please them. They will grovel, wag their tail, lick the hand that hits them, roll over in submission… but when evil owners beat, kick, hit, burn and do other horrific things (I have seen it ALL), some (not all) dogs just snap and fight back. Others just curl up and wait to die.There are rare instances where a dog, or a line of dogs with the same bloodlines, will be nasty due to problems caused by inbreeding or poor breeding. Some dogs are very fearful, insecure, have nervous conditions or other things that make them unstable. This is one reason for never, ever buying a dog from a pet store (they usually get their puppies from horrendous puppy mills) or back yard breeders, or on things like Craigslist, where you have NO idea about the dog’s history and background.The best way to get a reliable pet is either from a very established breeder, or from a breed rescue that does temperament and personality testing, testing with kids and other animals, testing for resource guarding, and other potential problems. But as has been mentioned before, any dog can turn on its owners - it is primarily a result of not raising it properly, not training it properly, not being aware of the dog’s personality and temperament and training it accordingly - and #1 - owners who are cruel, punitive, disrespectful, arrogant.
Is a pitbull stronger than a wolf?
A pitbull is not as strong as a Wolf. It’s not even close to be honest. But the answers I’ve read saying wolves have a bite force of 1200PSI is ludicrous. That is comparable to a Jaguars bite force. People are seriously trying to say that a Wolf can bite harder than a Tiger? A Hyena? A fricken Polar Bear?! It’s just not true.Now that little rant is over, let’s get onto your question.Pit bulls are strong dogs, but their power is a bit exadurated. Wolves can grow upwards of 70kg, whereas Pitbulls max out at around 30–35kg. So straight away, it’s not looking good for our pit-bull.Several studies have shown that a Wolves bite force is greater than a Pitbulls, however it’s definitley not 1200PSI.For this test, 100 wolves bite forces were tested and the average came back at around 506PSI. So, using this information, we can say the maximum a particularly big wolf can bite down is about 600PSI.Pitbulls bite down with a force of about 235PSI which is very impressive, but nowhere near as powerful as the wolves. Pitbulls are tremendous dogs, extremely powerful and very loyal but they’re nothing compared to a Wolf.That being said, there are a few dogs who could beat a wolf in a fight.Turkish Kangals were bred to defend livestock from Wolves, and they are more than capable of taking one down. Adult males can surpass 70kg, and they have a ridiculous bite force of 743PSI.So there are a couple dogs who can take down a wolf, a relatively big pitbull may be able to put up enough of a fight to maybe scare a wolf off, but if it was a fight to the death, then a wolf beats a pitbull 100% of the time.Hope this helped.(Wolf bite force study)http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/obj/s4/f2/...Joshua James's answer to What is the force of a wolf bite?
