We got our two yorkies when our daughter was five. We are also the house that all the kids in the neighborhood come over and play at so I have kids of all ages over to my house. We have never had an incident of one of ours getting aggressive with a child. We dont let any children pick them up only pet them. My Daughter has held them but its been supervised. You just need to teach your child to be gentle with the yorkie and have rules about not picking it up and being careful around the pup. I am sure it will work out for you |
