i have a 12lber and a 6lber and i got them both when my youngest was 6-7 months. i have 4 other children (9,6,5,2) and it really just depends on your children and the dog. Troy (6lbs) knows when my now 1yo is coming she finds somewhere else to be. but she cuddles and lays with my 2yo. Walker (12lb) is rough with everybody. i have to keep him away from the kids cause hes a little hyper and they are like me... not liking a dog jumping all over them and licking.
i also have puppies. they are almost 2 wks and the little ones want to play and hold them but i tell them not yet. and the listen for the most part. they are settling for just lookiing right now. in fact noone is allowed to handle them except my 9 yo and only when i need help. |
