I also want to add that while little dogs have been hurt and even killed by big dogs, it does not happen that frequently. People can't live in fear that something *might* happen. Yes, it's possible that something bad could happen, but it's not very likely.
I'm VERY over protective of my yorkies, but I love dogs of all sizes. I'm going to own big dogs one day, when I still have my yorkies. I will not let them be together without a knowledgable adult, but I plan on having both at some point. I'm not going to keep myself from owning a wonderful large breed dog just because someone has had an awful experience. |
