Hi and welcome!
A Pitbull, as I understand it, has tremendous bite pressure. I think this is part of the reason they get such a bad rap, especially since they are NOT the most prolific biters...not like Cocker Spaniels and Chows. But, due to that serious bite-and-hold nature, they can injure without meaning to do so...or realizing they are. The Yorkie may be 17 pounds now, but the Pit will be larger, and if the behavior is not altered, could lead to accidental injury...playing or not. Please take the needs and instinctual behaviors of both dogs into consideration...and especially their safety.
