I watched my Jack Russell kill a black racer, and it was impressive to watch. Black racers are lightning quick and very aggressive. I lifted my grill cover that was on the ground and the snake took off. Before I could get "NO!" Out of my mouth, he had the snake in his mouth and was thrashing it around like a rag doll. It was over before the snake knew what hit him. I would think a lot of dog breeds would take the curiosity angle though and toy with the snake.

The terrier breeds are supreme assassins when it comes to vermin. Mine has taken down field rabbits, squirrels, opossums, cats, & snakes. When she zeros in on something she "thinks" needs killin', the deed is done before the poor critter can even react. Only thing that she didn't immediately destroy was a skunk. It was crossing the little pasture & she took off after it but once she got close enough to the skunk, she backed off. By the time I got to her, I could smell her from 25 yards out.

So when you say aggressive you mean aggressive to run away from you?

Cause this doesn't match that?

Are you kidding me? I've made a hobby out of catching snakes my whole life, with the majority of them being racers (just because they are more common). They don't back down??? Those things are hard to get close to even when you're trying. They are very fast and the first thing they want to do is get away from you.
