| I Need Help Deciding PLEASE :) Ok Guys and Gals I was given the option from my hubby to either get the little Chi that I posted last night. OR I can get a male Yorkie I found a lady close to me that has been breeding for 25 years and I called and spoke with her and she said that she is willing to let me make her payments or as we laughed put the puppy on layaway. So my thing is do I get what I want which is the Yorkie or do I get the Chi for my 3 year old?

| I think your 3 year old will love the puppy no matter what. But I wouldn't get too small of a yorkie because of your child. I have a 3 year old too who has been around small animals his whole life, but it's easier with a little bit bigger of a yorkie. Brandy is 5 lbs and they get along very well. I think you should go and meet the yorkie and the chi and see which one fits in your family the best. Good luck with whatever you decide! |

I agree!!! I also think your three year old is going to love any type of dog you bring home!!! But I agree, as a mother of three little boys, don't get one that is too small. And make sure your child knows that they have to be gentle with the puppy.

| Tell you husband that since you don't want one full size dog that you'll take two small ones. See if that get's you both of them. Good luck!

| If you're referring to a chihuahua, I say hands down, get the yorkie. I also have to agree that a 3 year old is too young for a small dog, sorry. |

| My 3 girls are VERY careful with puppies and dogs in general when we brought Bear home at 12 weeks he was all of 1.8 lbs and that was 2 1/2 years ago and the he only weighed 3.8 when he past on. And as far as getting both he said nope.

| Ask anyone on this forum and they would say "YORKIE!!". The only advantage to the chihuahua is .... NO GROOMING....! Good luck with your choice.... You'd love either one!!!

| I have two little ones also that are extremely careful with Daisy and are not allowed to play with her alone.. They know the rules. I think that as long as you are consistent and make sure to keep an eye on them there is no reason that little can't be around dogs. JMO and I still respect those breeders and those of you that don't want little furbabies around little human babies.. Just a matter of opinion... |
