I'm with everyone else, it's probably not a good idea. Maybe if you got one of the larger yorkies, but i'd say small to midsized is probably a bad idea for small children.
when my sister was about five years old, she was holding my yorkie (probably around 2 at the time, maybe 6-7 pounds) and she dropped her face down on the cement from where she was standing. it was an accident and the dog was fine, thank heavens, but it just goes to show that they're probably not the best for kids. and my sister knew she wasn't allowed to hold the dog while standing, she picked her up so she wouldn't run outside. |
