Dogs most likely to bite:
1. Jack Russell
Weighing only six to eight kilograms and measuring between 33 and 36 centimeters, it may not be the fiercest dog, but it is apparently the most likely to get bitten.
Bred for fox hunting, it is a bright and energetic dog that is “more likely to bite when excited.”

A muscular dog known for his traits of courage and tenacity and although he has been involved in attacks, through good breeding he is also known as a gentle and playful companion who gets along well with children.

At the same time, they can be aggressive if not properly cared for. It is a large dog that can reach 69 centimeters in height and weigh 60 kilos.
Meanwhile, a dog attack lawyer says a ban on XL Bully dogs won’t stop incidents happening, as he revealed the breeds that “most often” injure his clients. James McNally, nicknamed “The Dog Bite Solicitor”, said widespread problems with dangerous dogs in Britain go “much deeper” than just one breed.
He said most of his clients have been bitten by dogs that are not illegal, such as Japanese akitas, malamute huskies, Jack Russells, greyhounds and border collies. And he said adding another dog to a banned list was “the last thing we need”, while rejecting attempts by Home Secretary Suella Braverman to ban the XL bullies.
He reported WalesOnline, said: “Over the past 30 years, lawmakers have struggled to enforce poorly thought-out legislation. The last thing we need is more of the same. Banning XL Bullys will not stop dog attacks.
“It will make headlines, but it won’t stop the problems because they go much deeper than just one particular type of dog. If they are banned, they won’t disappear overnight, and I suspect that all of this will happen. It’s a new type of dog that will get around the ban.”
