Everyone has their opinions on yorkies and children. I personally don't think it's normally a good match (although in some cases it's fine when the parent is responsible). |
I personally don't think it is a good idea most of the time either..it can work in some situations..but 100% supervision is paramount..accidents can happen with older children also..my last yorkie was dropped down some stairs by a friends 8 year old daughter..she was told NOT to pick her up..when my back was turned she did just that and dropped her (Heidi was probably wriggling) while walking down the stairs..thankfully she was ok..but i learnt my lesson and i will NEVER ever leave my dog alone with any child. I felt so guilty about it..
