I just read this whole thread - I remember having my kids as babies and it was the best time ever - with a baby at only 9 months old - WHY would you want to even bring a dog into the picture ? I would think having a baby would be a full time job - as having a yorkie can be lol -
I so enjoyed my sons at that age and those years go by wicked fast - adding a very small dog would to me take away from the joy of watching your baby do all the 1st things they do - You're going to have to be always on the lookout that the baby doesn't hurt the dog - basically... what everyone else is saying - ON the other side - I wouldn't hesitate to get a lab or a very child friendly dog - yorkies are too small to be child proof.
IF I were a breeder I wouldn't sell to someone with very young kids either - to many things can happen and it's the dogs who end up hurt -
Not to mention - at 9 months old your baby isn't going to even remember having a pet until they're more like 6 years old and up |
