No!! only familiar.

I don't let Gracie play with any unfamiliar dog, big or small. It was a Chi that attacked her out of the blue!

I don't let any big dog play with Gus familiar or unfamiliar! First of all Gus is too tiny and can get hurt by just playing. I'm not saying you can't trust big dogs, I'm saying I don't trust big dogs. After Gus's accident I am even more protective with him. My husband thinks I go overboard. But the way I look at it is,,, I'm sure he wouldn't want our son playing football with boys who are 20 to 30 X's his weight. I don't care how gentle they are, it just doesn't make sense to take that kind of a chance.

I don't let mine play with my daughters big dogs. It would just take one punce on their backs and they could be crippled or killed.

No unfamiliar dogs, large or small. They can be hurt in a second.

whenever we're even just walking
I pick up Tila if I see a bigdog
(unless it's a big dog breed taht's a puppy and small)
I just don't want to take the chance
Tila was already attacked by a dog on our street
I luckily picked her up in time

who cares if they think you're snobbish
better then your baby getting hurt!

I absolutly would never allow this! Keep this in mind, yorkies tend to not be as aware as we are of their size and are pretty couragous, mix this with big dogs and you are asking for trouble!
