That makes sense to me, but it truly does not if you are making rules based off of breeds specifically.
In terms of aggression or behaviour, no there is no difference between a yorkie and pit bull. When my german shepherd goes to my friends place, it is far more gentle and well behaved than his chihuahua. Maybe read the results of the study if you disagree.
I realize I'm going to get crapped on for my last post, but frankly, it's science and I'm a little tired of seeing the fingers being pointed without any hint of truth or science being used.

Ignoring the other ridiculous post you made, this suggestion is flat out wrong. Try as you might, you could never train a yorkie or maltese to be a hunting dog.
Dogs breeds have known behavioral and repeatable traits. Just because *YOU* trained your German sheppard to be a good dog, doesn't mean everyone will. And if a German sheppard isn't trained well, it can kill someone. If someone's Weiner dog isn't trained well, it won't kill someone.
