It is a strange phenomenon, and dogs are certainly interesting in many things they do. But this one dog, a FEMALE no less, is clearly in charge whenever in a roomful of dogs of all sizes and breeds. Why is this so?

We have a Jack Russell up the street. He's a bossy little cuss! And he comes to the defense of our grandson when he things we're being mean. Have only seen this dog with our dog and they seem to get along. But you'll never get the ball away from him unless he wants you to. Even if he's dangling from it, he's got a good hold and there's no letting go.

They try to be. My friend has a jack russell, a boxer and a mix breed ankle biter and the jack russell seems to own the place, compared to the rest of the dogs.

Having owned many terriers, my guess is because they are terriers. We call them Terrierists at our house. Isn't that one of the reasons they give them their own 'Group' at dog shows?? Just curious.

Any terrier is bossie and if given the opportunity will do so over people or animals.
