9: Jack Russell Terrier: Four feet high

These small-but-mighty terriers can leap four feet high, which is incredible for their size, getting up to one foot tall at the shoulder. That's like a six foot man leaping over an eighteen foot wall!

Another mighty terrier, the Rat Terrier can easily spring over walls that are five feet high, and can climb higher if the wall has grips.

7: Border Collie: Six feet high
