Lucy goes with us everywhere and loves it. I love animals and I teach my daughter too to love and respect them. I know I may be a minority but there are good, caring , responsible and watchful parents out here. I know you are not saying there aren't but it does make it difficult for us. I also would never ask for a Yorkie that is 3lbs or anything (Lucy is between 6-7lbs) I want them to beable to go out to the park together and play fetch with my daughter and I. The sad thing for me is, I want another Yorkie some day too and feel that it may be really hard and discouraging to get one from any breeder. I want to get a top of the line yorkie with champion lineage...etc..I just worry that I won't get a fair chance....I wonder how many othes with Yorkies have kids under lets say 5yrs?
To each situation. I am glad your little girl is good with your yorkies!
If I had a larger pup and a very careful 5 yr old I would meet with them to see how things go. Normally my pups average around 4-5lbs. So do have to screen my homes carefully. My goal is to match the right home with the right yorkie. I used to be a vet tech and have seen first hand injuries caused unintentionally by small children, I am not trying to make things hard for families with small children, I am just trying to prevent Heartache and Injury.
