I think that it's a combination of his being so young and also his being so new to your home. Toddlers move quickly and some Yorkies are timid of that movement. You have to remember that he sees things at a different prospective as us. He's low to the floor.
I know many are against Yorkies and young children. Where I think it has some merit I'm not in total aggreance with that. I think each family should be judged individually. Some older kids are worse then the young with animals. It's all in the way you raise your children and your Yorkie for that matter.
I have two boys who are now almost 12 yrs. old and almost 15 yrs. old. Our first Yorkie past away this summer. He was 10 yrs. old. My boys were 2 and 5 when he came into our home. They were raised to be respectful of ALL animlas and to be gentle. I never left them alone with Newman and I also went for a bigger Yorkie, not a tiny. I think that made a difference too. For people with young children or any children really I would always reccomend the bigger of the litter. Newman was 12 pounds full grown and he loved my boys and they loved him. I hope it works out for you.
