Normally seeing a Pit Bull with Chihuahua puppies makes me a little nervous.But this Pit is so sweet and gentle with the pups I do believe it thinks it’s their mom!

REALLY?? because pits are so mean and vicious? they are what you teach them!! Look at my babies! they love their pitty momma!
Not because they are so mean and vicious Donna. But because often Chis and Pits like to dominate and if they both want to be the alpha dog and the Chi doesn’t back down (because they believe they are as big as the Pit) the Chi may get injured.
kilosmom, thanks! my pit wouldn’t dominate a fly LMAO
we have 4 Chihuahuas, a mini-schnauzer and the pitbull…she’s only gotten overly rough with the schnauzer because he rough houses too hard for her old butt…BTW she just had her 13th birthday, I’m sure if she was a young spring chicken I’d be more watchful for sure, but they’re all a bunch of lazy dogs..on another subject any help to stop my males from marking on the furniture? they go outside several times a day and still will mark? used belly bands and they chewed them off, used piddle pads and they shred them… at wits end at times but I love them just the same!!
Are they neutered? That helps a lot. Make sure you get all the smell out with white vinegar because if there is any trace of the urine smell, the other dogs will try to mark in the same place. A black light will help you find all the spots.
I can put your question on the Facebook page and see if there is anymore advice for you if you want.
I have a pit /boxer cross looks like a pit but he loves his chihuahua’s he thanks they are his babies
That’s what the Pit in that video thinks too I believe. I love how gentle he/she was with them.
Has anyone ever had any questions on what to give your Chi for flea, tick, heart worm ? I recently had given my Chloe Trifexis and she started to have problems with her appetite, lethargic,her hind legs kept giving out on her and seizures. I would not recommend any one to give that to their fur babies. She has recently past from this October 28 ,2014
I heard bad things about Trifexis too. I have been lucky the past few years and haven’t had to use any flea meds although I do use heartworm preventative. It’s been so rainy here in the summer the last few years that fleas haven’t been an issue. Now mosquitoes is another thing!
Do you want me to ask on the Facebook page and see what others suggest?
Sheila…I use Advantix on all 3 of my dogs. 5# Chi, 55# deaf pibble, and 75# Springer. They all do fine and we get ticks here in western PA. That’s why I use it. It prevents mosquito bites also.
