You know, this topic always seems to go back to the Pitbull being such a TERRIBLE breed, untrustworthy etc...The question in the original post was CAN YORKIES PLAY WITH BIG DOGS? Not can yorkies play with PITBULLS...I think the answer really is...YES YOUR YORKIE CAN PLAY WITH A BIG DOG, IF and only IF this is what YOU feel comfortable with...I would NEVER EVER allow my dog to play with some random dog (BIG OR SMALL)...But If I know the dog, have interacted with the dog and TRUST the dog then YES I would allow my dog to play with the dog (again whether big or small)

I had a chow chow growing up, if she was here now, I wouldnt let Sammi play with her, because she was like hot and cold...Some days she wanted to play and some days she didnt want to be bothered...Storm has grown up with Sammi, he might not be 100% pitbull, but he is part pit, never once have I worried about him hurting my dog...And it is becuase Sammi has established a relationship with him, I play with him, I play with them together and there is a trust there...

As for this LOCKING JAW that is mentioned...THERE IS NO PROVEN FACT THAT IS BREEDS JAW LOCKS...If you campare the skull of a pitbull to any other dogs you will see the size and shape may differ slightly but there are EXACTLY the same as any other breeds bone structure pitbulls have NO mechanism in their jaw bones to lock in fact they actually have vey large jaw muscles which is where the whole locking myth comes from its not meant to be takin literally its a figure of speech...

In NO WAY do I want to offend anyone or hurt anyones feelings, so please DO NOT take this post as that...Because in the end YOU make the choice for your dog wheter or not they should play with a big dog, not a forum...So if you DO NOT feel comfy with it then just DONT DO IT...
