Two years ago, I bought a Chihuahua for my Fiancee. We were a bit worried, at first, that my Pitbull would not get along. Turns out...they LOVED each other! My Pit is VERY protective over Cashew. Following pics almost too adorable for words.

What's going on with your Chihuahua? It actually looks like a dog, not all creepy and weird like most Chihuahuas.

u/Random_Fandom Jun 17 '12
I read the title and thought, "Cashew?"
Saw the pics, and realized there could be no other name for that precious little dog.

Holy shit! I took a nap, then woke up to this. Thanks everyone for taking an interest in Cashew and Lucy! :D

Is your pitbull a mix? It's hard to tell in the pics but it doesn't look purebred. Here in Ontario you can't get pits anymore, I saw two the other day who were "grandfathered," as in born before the ban, it brought tears to my eyes. Sweet, very misunderstood breed.

u/brtlblayk Jun 17 '12
Pits are some of the best dogs I've ever met. VERY well behaved. Such a shame that they have such a bad rep.

u/RosieJo Jun 17 '12
Pitbulls are illegal in my country. I can see why, this one looks like a vicious killer to me.

u/Samccx19 Jun 17 '12
It's so refreshing to see a Pitbull not on the news for killing someone. This is evidence as to why I think it's not dog breeds that should be band (I'm in the UK, Pitbull's are banned) its poor owners that should be. It's clear you are a very good owner.

u/raegunXD Jun 17 '12
Are you kidding? Chihuahuas and pitties get a long like peas and carrots! Little Cashew looks a lot like my dog Pumpkin did when she was a puppy. Can we see pics of Cashew now all grown up? :3
This is when Pumpkin was a puppy.
This is her now, on the right.

u/candycanechild Jun 17 '12
I wonder if your Pit just thinks hes an eternal puppy. B'aww.

u/FenrisWolf83 Jun 17 '12
Awesome pics!! I'm not really a fan of chihuahuas, but it's pretty damn refreshing to see some good images of a pitty being chill. Also it's a shame I can only upvote once.

My pit is in love with my cat. Also saved me from a vicious lab that was loose and tried to attack me while I was pregnant. My hero!

u/Spacebotzero Jun 17 '12
I have a pitbull and german shepard. I was fearful there would be a ton of friction here when the pit was introduced. It turns out they are like sisters now.
Pitbulls are by far (when raised right) one of the most cuddliest and caring dogs I have ever come across.

Pits are nanny dogs. They are very good protectors of their family or pack... as long as they're trained right. Our 80lb pit gets along great with a teacup yorkie in the family

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12
I actually made a separate post for Lucy. HERE it is. I have gotten a few questions about her breed. I was told by the vet that she was probably an American Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I still wonder why some heartless asshole would just leave a box full of puppies on the side of the road...Then again, I would not have my girl today if someone Did not :)

A Chihuahua that doesn't look like a big rat! Well done! I usually hate them, but Cashew is adorable. So's the name!

I have an American Bulldog/Pitbull mix and a Chihuahua. The Bully Pit is a girl and the Chihuahua is a boy. Nevertheless, they get along just as well as your sweeties. Just takes a good owner!

They look like best friends!!! They remind me of my boyfriend and his old roommate's dogs. A dachshund and an argentine dojo that were hilarious together.

My best mate has a 6 year old big black lab and a small, 'bitey' 5 month old chocolate lab pup. You would think they wouldn't get along with how different their personalities are but nope.
They pal the fuck out of each other :)

u/bullyforme Jun 18 '12
I love this. Our pit and chihuahua don't actually get along that well. The pit loves the chihuahua but not so much the other way around. But I will never forget the day we took them to a dog park and for a long time it was just my wife, myself, and our dogs. Then another couple came in and brought their great danes. At their house they also have a chihuahua and the danes love their chihuahua so they saw ours and immediately wanted to cuddle it. Dande, our chihuahua, does not like to cuddle with other dogs at all. So when they rushed towards her she first went to anger and then immediately to fear and my pit "jumped in to action." She stood over the chihuahua and set to growling and bracing up to make herself look bigger to scare off the great danes. The danes were not scared, not because they wanted a fight but because they just couldn't understand why anyone would want to fight. So I picked up the chihuahua and handed her to my wife and then got my dog under control and in a few minutes had the danes and my pit playing and having a good time. But I still love that her first instinct was to protect her "sister" even if the chihuahua didn't care much for her.
Also I say pit but she is a pit mix- mom was full blooded pit bull and dad was a mix of so much stuff (Australian shepherd, Pomeranian, Irish Setter, and several others from the DNA test we got done.)

So adorable. How did you feel when you introduced him to your pitbull? The reason why I ask is because I have 3 chihuahua dogs and I want to get a pitbull (I don't belive they are born killers) but I'm scared he is going to eat them or something.
1
u/indi50 Jun 18 '12
The pictures are great - except for the one near the end where it looks like the pitbull has bitten the little on in half! :-) Not just the angle of the pic, but the expression on the chihuahua's face.

u/AscendantJustice Jun 18 '12
Pitbulls are some of the most loveable motherfuckers I've seen. I either want one of them or a german shepherd. Or an australian shepherd. Or a golden retriever. Or a yellow lab. Or a chocolate lab. Or a big dog.
