I'm so scared they'll turn on one of them and here in Alaska they'd both have to be indoor. I need advice!!!

It's not the family and the family dogs you have to worry about, Pits HATE other dogs outside of the family home. So you may need to worry about him possibley (the pit) getting out and hurting another animal. But, if he is raised with the yorkie there should be no problem just supervise their play (because pit's play rough and may hurt them but NOT intentionally, that is pets inside the home). I think they will be fine I have kids (9, 10 years old) and had a pit and a yorkie at the same time and NEVER had a problem, as a matter of fact my yorkie weighs 2 pounds 11 ounces and she ruled the pit litterally..
