First of all, you don't really describe the whole scenario for readers to figure out what the real story is... Do you have a previous incident with that particular pit? Do you have the tipical yapping chihuahua that anoys anything and anybody? I don't want to sound defensive, nor distrusting of your word, but we really need to know facts in order to send sugestions and answers... the way I see it is the way it happens in my neighborhood... little miss thing with her chihuahua comes down the street, cell phone in one hand stuck to her ear, and leash in the other with the little monster charging at anybody or anything that moves... provoking and challenging even the big dogs... little chihuahuas, schnauzers and pomeranians tend to be little divas, and then something happens and owners come on the news crying and claiming emotional trauma... if you take the time to train your dog to be civil and sociable, this kind of problem might not be a problem... my neighbor has the two most amazing rescue pitbulls and they are a couple of sweethearts... they've been trained and socialized, their behavior is just amazing, I believe they should be the poster dog for this breed, still she'd had her share of complaints from a couple of "concerned neighbours", the dog behaviorist came over and gave her an outstanding review. Even when you have inside dogs, you need to take them for real walks on a leash, let them waste some of that energy, and let them get acquainted with people and other dogs.

They're escape artists. The ONLY way to keep them contained is an outdoor kennel, a zip line, or a chain. Four foot fences are nothing, a full grown husky can scale a 9 foot chain link fence when it wants. They CLIMB. Or dig under. You have to make it impossible for them to do it.

Absolutely a Pit can jump a 4 foot fence. I've seen dogs this size jump fences even higher.

Some Depends on the dog. Ive met some that have no problem with a six foot, and some the could barely get over a two foot.

A 4ft fence can easily be climbed or jumped by most large breed dogs.

yes and they also like to dig. If the problem does occur, Please dont put him/her on a chain that is the worst thing you can do. Just make a dog run only if you have to. digging, just tie the two middly toes together (not tight) just comfortably, b/c when they dig their toes spread and give him/ her a week or so and they will figure out that they dont like to dig anymore. they are very smart so you may have to do that a couple of times they will figure you out.

Yes. In less time than in took to type your question. Many breeds would be over the fence in a flash, especially any of the sight hounds who would see a chi as prey.

Easy peasy. Even 6 foot wouldn't be 100 percent safe.
