I would not buy a yorkie PRIMARILY for a nine-month-old child. A baby that young has no idea that they have to be careful. They think of them as a toy. I have a yorkie who is very good with children, but I don't have young children living at home. My grandchildren visit, and they are very good with Jake, but we supervise them when they are playing with him. Jake is only a little over 4 lbs., and I purposely waited until my children were grown to get a yorkie. Yorkies are alot of work, so you might want to consider that before getting one because I'm sure your baby keeps you busy as it is. Yorkies are high maintenance. If you do decide to get a one, I would suggest one on the bigger side. |
