Most Yorkies I hear killed from Pitbulls or other breeds was right in their own yard.
I've watched my babies poop and pee thousands of times.... as I NEVER take my eye off of them. I now have a fence installed... for my piece of mind and their health and safety. They can't run off and the chance of them being attacked by other dogs is much less.
Get fencing and some posts, then install a fence. Mine is made from 1" x 2" wire approx. 42" tall.
A Pitbull or other dog coming in for the kill won't be affected by an "electric fence". Getting use to carrying a very stout club for protection is also a great idea against attacking dogs. Leashing my babies is never an inconvenience when it comes to their health and safety.
