| Does your fur baby likes kids? I've heard so much that yorkies don't get along with kids but my Mindy loves them! What about your fur baby? |

| Hmmmmmmm complicated question, mine like mine...I have well trained kids and mostly well behaved dogs... Mine like the children of a couple friends, children's friends, neighbors...who have taught their children to respect animals-there are a few children too excitable and well behaved that they prefer not to be around for no other reason than the kids are just too jumpy etc. ***Biggest rule in my house-the dog's beds are their "safety zone" do not touch, bother walk too close to even look too hard (just kidding-no touchy though) the dogs when they are on their beds-if they want attention they will come ask for it-we have beds all over the house for them, not for this but they like to change beds-but this applies to all their beds*** (mostly my daughter's preteen friends to be honest-they are just too unpredictable and loud and excitable at times-so my daughter's Yorkie will be with me when they are here not with my daughter mostly) I take Elvis almost everywhere I can because of his medical issues; he will more than sit on my lap calmly and enjoys watching the kids sports practices-basketball, softball, sports camp etc. Elvis is always taken with a carrier or a blanket to "get in" to "hide" if he chooses-he is not fond of little strangers or big strangers who try to come pet him so I don't let them...I tell kids "look with your eyes only please"...sometimes adults too Last edited by concretegurl; 03-01-2011 at 04:03 AM.

| Well, Mindy is only 10 months old, and she likes all the attention but she doesn't like to be hold. She sit by you, play with you, follow you everywhere but ah ah do not grab me... Weird. She is very playful and when I take her yo the park I got to be very careful because when ever she sees a person ( doesn't matter if its a kid or an adult) she runs to them like she knows them since ever. She is very social and I know she still a baby and hope it does not change. Her best fur friend is a huge Labrador and when ever they get together it's funny how they won't stop running. |

| Nope, Zhoie doesn't like little kids. She does ok with older ones, just not the small ones. She loves people otherwise. I think it's a fear thing for her because they are so wild....freaks her out.

| My yorkie LOVESSSSSSSS kids!! He gets excited when ever he hears little kids voices!! Maybe cause the first person i introduced him to was my little nephew. But I do make sure my nephew always comes down to Pasquale's level.

| Troy loves everybody! He likes babies and is quite fascinated by them actually. My daughter is 8 and has her friends come by and he'll go say hi and snuggle with them if they are playing video games or sitting playing cards or something. He likes to watch them ride bikes or sit outside with them. I don't let him run around with them for fear that they'll fall or he'll get hurt but if I let him, he'll play chase and run around with them like he's a 70 pound boxer.

| My Bella loves kids! She is so crazy around them until they hurt her then its under the couch she goes. She also loves bigger dogs but hates smaller ones. I find that strange. Mati is a touch me not! She does not like kids or adults that want to touch her if she does not know them. She will start shaking and you can tell she is in freak out zone. So I don't let people bother her.

| Jackson likes kids for the most part. He loves my little 7 year old brother and my 3 year old sister. They can be as wild and rambunctious as they want around him and he doesn't care. He really LOVES them! Other kids he doesn't 'dislike' but he gets nervous when lots are running around in a small space, like a house living room, etc, but outdoors and at public places he's fine with kids. He loves going up to a child at a pet store or whatever and I've been lucky that most parents are smart and ask first and the kid knows to slowly stick their hand out for him to smell first.... I really socialized him like crazy though, I usually always have treats in my pockets so he associates kids with positive things. Had I not done this, I'm not sure he'd be so tolerant of kids.

| Max likes a few kids, but for the most part, he and Teddy are nervous around them. They don't like screaming or rambunctiousness.
