in most states, you CANNOT have homeowners insurance with a pit, or any other type of "mauling" dog...
I personally wouldnt own a pit, just because of their "nature" of unpredictability(pit is not the only breed like this)
putting big dogs and little dogs together is really fine in my house but I NEVER leave my lab alone with the little dogs...
several years ago, my aunt had a yorkie the same size as Hope, she crawled all over our bigg mix breed dog. they played together alot! the little dog bit her ear, she jerked and sorta snapped at the pain and the little yorkie died right there... it was totally an accident but it still could happen...
just be careful. you can never watch such a little baby too much or too close
good luck
