No, I don't think it's more for the child than the dog..I think it's terrible that some breeders and rescue organizations don't want people with children having yorkies..I brought my children up around dogs(small and big), and my g-kids have been brought up with them as well..I have seen children that have been more gentle with little dogs than adults. They need to change their rules! A lot of breeders sell to adults, who have no children, and then on down the road, they end up having kids, and treat the dog like crap..I even spoke to a woman about 3 years ago that had a yorkie for sale for $100..of course I called, and she said she was already sold..I asked her why she had sold her, she said because the puppy was her baby, but when she had a baby, that the yorkie would never accept the baby, so, out went the yorkie..I think a parent should raise their kids right and teach them from a young age how to treat animals...pets are very good for children and can help them through a lot of hard times..I really do feel for you..! |
