Terriers do not do well here as they are bred to think independently; a higher ranked dog is typically trusting of strangers and will accept commands from anyone. Some of us arent looking for this. You should note where you get your data. Additonally, scots were certainly used for fox, badger, and vermin hunting, hence the scots much larger jaw and bite. I believe you may have switched the columns between the scot and westie. Otherwise, a great article!
