Yep, I sure do
Well, we are not 100% POSITIVE that she has Pit Bull in her, but I we are pretty darn sure of it. Let me also add, that we didn't really know this when we "rescued" her. She just showed up at my house and was starving and thirsty, and we took her in because we felt so sorry for her.
She is a very sweet dog, but she DOES have some aggression issues when it comes to food. She actually bit my Mini Doxie twice (once drawing blood, it was on her nose)....BUT - my Mini Doxie eggs her on
She is REALLY bad about doing that. She will constantly bug her (the Pit mix) and try to steal her food, and the Pit mix just got sick of it a couple of times and basically let her have it. It was very scary though as I could NOT get her off my Mini Doxie...and she was going for her throat. Very, VERY scary. Finally my husband came out and got everything under control but needless to say I was shaking - like a LEAF.
She is totally fine otherwise - she just does not like other dogs bothering her while she is eating. One other thing though, is that she is EXTREMELY protective over her territory. She is an outside dog, and I know some people don't agree with keeping dogs outside (and thats ok) - but anyway, lets just say that on more than one occasion, she almost ate the meter reader
LOL. I have never seen a meter reader run so fast in my life from my yard LOL. Poor guy!
Anyhow, if you want my personal opinion, I myself would not leave a Pit alone with my Yorkies...but that is just me. My brother had 2 full blooded Pits, got them when they were puppies and raised them himself every since they were tiny. He has a step-daughter at home (she was about 5 or 6 at the time) and after having them for several years, they finally turned on her one day out of the blue. Mind you, she grew up around these dogs as well and they knew her very, very well. After they bit her, he had no choice but to re-home them. He was not ABOUT to put her in danger.
I say that in the end, the decision is yours...but just think long and hard about it. If it were ME, I wouldn't do it - but there are plenty people out there, I'm sure, that would totally disagree with me on this.
Good luck!!
