Well, I guess bigger dogs around small dogs is always a possible risk and not an owner's fault. That's one of the reasons I just don't believe it's safe having a Yorkie living with a larger dog. Things like this can always happen and I those tiny little babies ALWAYS come out on the bad end. |
Just wanted to mention the death of that Yorkie by the Bull Dog. I usually defend the Pit Bull breed when people start piling on that breed when there is some sort of disaster. I was reading more about this particular Bull Dog. It was actually bought for the boy friend. I know nothing about it's background. But there is a lot of irresponsible breeding going on these days with many breeds. Some people want a bred like that as a symbol of their "manhood" and do things to make it aggressive. The Bull Dog can be an aggressive breed and if bred wrong it can create further problems. We will never know what really happened but it was bad enough that they decided to re home the Bull Dog. Breeds that have fighting in their background have to be chosen very carefully especially since we have breeders that actually try to bring out the aggressive nature of these breeds. A Yorkie is dead and I doubt it was done in play. It may have started out as play but it must have progressed to the point that it got out of hand. Don't want to get on a soap box. I realize that no breed is all bad. It is the human factor that usually causes the problems.
