I LOVE PIT BULLS, and I have a couple of them HOWEVER, I NEVER, EVER, EVER Leave Gucci around them!! Why? Because they are big, heavy, rough dogs and I don't feel a delicate Yorkie should be a play option for them.
My dogs are as friendly as ever, I was raised around Pit bulls my entire life... but that doesn't mean that they don't play rough and it doesn't mean that if another dog bites them they WON'T get upset. Simple as that.
My Dogs are Family dogs and love my husband and myself as well as our girls.. They wouldn't intentionally hurt a fly. However, once again I DO NOT LEAVE MY GIRLS UNATTENDED WITH THE DOGS Either... They are big and can hurt them if they wanted to.
My Take is this - A DOG IS A DOG and you never know what they are thinking as they cannot speak. I believe this is TRUE OF ALL DOGS not just pitties. If the Dog is Large enough to hurt or kill something, NEITHER MY KIDS or MY YORKIE OR ANY OTHER SMALL DOG will be left alone to "hang out" with it.
I think it's the owners responsibility to keep their kids and pets safe. When people start leaving their large dogs alone with their smaller ones.. accidents CAN happen and sometimes they WILL so be prepared. Who is to say Large Dog A isn't ill in the tummy and Small Dog B decides to pounce on Large Dog A's stomach to play... Well Large Dog A being taken off guard and hurt can easily come to defense and Snap at Small Dog B. Why? Because like people, dogs have reflexes and instant reactions to pain.
I'm sorry but I've seen Yorkies on here killed by other family dogs during rough play etc. and It's just not Ok. |
