Sounds like your husband is just being a PITA because he does not want you to get a yorkie. Has he ever been around one before? My husband was not for getting a yorkie at all, "little yapper dogs that they are" -- lol! Guess who is enthralled with them now. Guess who just bought a huge chaise recliner so there would be plenty of room for him and the pups? "My" yorkies seem to spend an awful lot of their time curled up with him. They win over the most macho of them all!
As to the pit bull idea -- I think the fact that he knew it would be a "threat" to bring it up answers the question. I think they should all be neutered and an end be put to this menace that
man created. They are like loaded guns. The ones that kill were always "the most gentle dogs" until the day they attacked. Maybe any dog can kill but approx. ONE THIRD of all human deaths attributed to dog bites are from PIT BULLS. Rottweilers and Presa Canarios add to them to include 65% of the canine homicides. Read this page:
