Dogs nip when playing sometimes and a big dog nip on a little dog is going to be worse then a big dog nip on a big dog. |
How about a little dog nip on a big dog? I had a cocker spaniel tear my Rottweiler/Black Lab's back leg APART 14 yrs ago resulting in an 1,800 dollar surgery. Her leg never was the same. Ya know...that woman didn't even apologize for what her dog did? All my dog was doing was walking through the park on leash, her's was off leash and decided to attack for no reason.
I really think that we have to be cautious of ALL unfamiliar dogs around our pets. You can't just say "only big dogs", or "only pitbulls". I went to pet a 3 lb yorkie at my son's school the other day. That dog bit me 10 times in about 3 seconds flat. Yes, he did break the skin. If you don't know a dog and it's temperament, be careful!
I've known one pitbull personally in my life. If any pit should have been unruly, it would have been that one. It's owners were very irresponsible and didn't take very good care of him (or themselves), BUT that dog was the sweetest little lovey dove ever. He LOVED people, especially children, and lived with me for a few months. At that time I owned a bird, a lizard, a hedgehog, a cat, and 2 dogs. He was great!
