There was a story on here not that long ago where a yorkie was attacked by a pit...IMO...and this ins MY OPINION! I don't trust ANY animal that has been bred for years to fight. I know that most big breeds have gotten a bad rap. The breeder that I bought my yorkies from also breeds Rotties...The Rotties in the kennels sound like they would rip you apart if they got out..Of course they are in kennels and just letting the owner know there are people around...She has another Rotties that stays inside with the yorkies...She is the sweetest most gentle dog I have ever seen. If she wanted to get rid of her I would take her in a heart beat...As far as Pits go we ALL know what they have been bred for and it still goes on today...My husband just told me a story the other day where they arrested a person that had CUT the ears off of her pit puppies with SCISSORS!! not only is that inhumane but why do you think they did this??!! Usually a GOOD breeder will breed to bring out the animals best traits...this doesn't seem to be happening with the Pits...I do feel really bad but if they keep breeding and training for fighting dogs they are always going to be know as a MEAN dog. ANY animal can be mean they are an animal...NO animal should be trusted. Same goes for cats...Bengals for instance...you CANNOT leagally buy a first generation bengal...you have to buy third generation...I know...I wanted one but, when I found out they were bred with a wild cat and should be kept as an only animal I decided this was not what I wanted...Pits are for special people...not those that think of them as a "People will not come near me with this dog by my side" and unfortunately this is what happens with alot of pit owners,,,I know I'm probably going to get yelled at for my opinions but remember...we all have our opinions and this is mine...
GorJess....personally....if you bf gets a Pit....I WOULD NOT let him near your yorkie...I would never take that chance....JMO..
