Honestly, no one has died from being attacked by a yorkie. You can't say the same thing about a larger dog. I am NOT a fan of big dogs. My niece was bit by a Weimeriner(sp?). A very gentle sweet dog but she got her right on the face(she didn't mean to, it was an accident because the girl touched it's back and the dog responded instictively). She now has a scar that will last her whole life. Even if you get the sweetest big dog there is a small chance something undoable will happen. My chihuahua is not kid friendly and may bite BUT she will never be able to kill a child. The same can not be said of a pit bull.
I do not think they should all be killed but I do not believe they should be bred anymore and by buying one you are giving them a demand for a dog that should not be around IMHO. |
