Also, and I know you're not the only one to have mentioned it, I thought dogs 'locking on' was a myth, and it was simply due to strength and bite pressue?

Oh no terriers definately do lock on and they dont let go until their quarry is dead!!! I had one lock onto a dog of mine at a show and the only way to get it to let go was to cover over its nostrils and make sure whoever was holding the leads were quick enough to get the dogs away from one another!
