JMO but I think if you get both as puppys and let them bond and grow together it would be ok. Pitt bulls get a bad rap. But I think its all on how they are raised. any dog can be mean, Its all in how they are raised. I have had a pittbull most of my life. They was raised with my children, and Not one of them have ever turned mean. I do agree with them having strong powerful jaws and they can hurt even if they are playing. My pitts have grown up with chi, pekenese and cats and they all did fine. The pitt I have now is older, I also have a Boxer and 2 Yorkies. I never let my bigger dogs eat or play together. I know my Male Yorkie who thinks hes boss would start a fight. and with my pitts strong jaws I will not take that chance, But they was not raised together.
My yorkies was not raised with children either and My Mickey is afraid of small children, If a child comes at him he will snap at them, Now see If a Pitt did this , he/ she would be put down, but when a yorkie does this the owner tries to correct his/ her behavior. Its all because the jaws of these dogs that they can do the same as a small dog and yet because of their strongness and jaws they can do some damage. I was just thinking about this the other day. how the smaller dogs can do this same thing and yet more or less get away with it, while a pitt would be put down. |
