I think if you are planning on starting a family, you might want to consider a slightly bigger (still small) breed of dog, or a larger yorkie (15 lbs or so).
I do truly think children can co exist with small dogs, but babies and toddlers grab and yank at puppies without knowing that they shouldn't. A friend of mine brings her toddler over sometimes and he goes to pet my dogs but will accidently smack them on the head because he just doesn't know how to be gentle yet. With them being so small, accidents happen so easily.
I do wish you the best of luck in your search! |
