I have a Yorkie (Rasta 2.2#'s) and an English Bulldog (Roxie 50+ #'s). We had Roxie first then I received Rasta as a birthday present from my husband. I do not let our bulldog play with my yorkie simply because of the size difference. Even though Roxie would probably never intentionally harm Rasta I just won't take the chance. For example almost a year ago my husband left them both unsupervised while I was gardening. When I walked back in they were fighting over a toy, Roxie grabbed it, and jumped OVER Rasta. Luckily she landed a few feet away and missed him completely but what if she hadn't? With that being said I do understand your need for a protection animal and while big dogs can and do live with toy breeds without incident, I would limit their interactions and when they did interact it would only be with constant supervision. |
