i have a Lab, a Chihuahua cross and a Jack Russell. David has a pit bull... i love his dog a lot, he is a beautiful dog, very gentle and loving and has a lot of patience with Felix... so saying that i would NEVER leave Felix in the same room with him unsupervised. nor would i let him play with the dog without me there. same goes for the Jack Russell and the Chihuahua.

the only one i would perhaps bend that rule for would be the Lab who btw is the only one of the 4 who has ever bitten Felix and it was deserved. Felix ran up to him and bit his foot very hard (just after cutting some teeth) and Lucky yipped and as a reflex reaction he turned around and nipped at Felix's hand. he didn't even break the skin (Felix did on his foot though) so i think if he had done that to Dozer (pit) then there would have been serious differences in the reaction... which is why i am a bit anti pit bull
Felix got in trouble when Lucky bit him, not the other way around just incase any one was curious
