Mimi & Timmy can tolerate anything...they don't care....but then again they really haven't been around toodlers....my rescue Gabby will let you know when enough is enough so when the younger kids come over I tell them to leave her alone because she will snap. I do not know too much about her background but I do know that she was rasied with 2 young kids. I think they used to take things away from her and pick her up too much...you know how small kids do...so Gabby is not a fan of that when it comes to smaller kids. If they leave her alone she's the sweetest thing and will tolerate to a point and even let them touch her. So basically its just teaching the child that this is not a toy and should be taught to be gentle with the dog because I do think they get tired of the handling after a while. Shoot if I were a dog I would get tired of it too |
LOL imagine a 21mo old picking up 16lb Bud and she can. But the problem
is he's hanging out of her arms and feels insecure hence the snap!
I watch her like a hawk because IF he ever bit her I have no idea what I would do. However, I do encourge a relationship between the two. Her sister
who was 3 when I got him is his very favorite person in the world. She never
did anything but be gentle with him so children can be taught. Izzy is learning. One day Bud will feel more secure around her when she stops trying
to get his fat butt in her stroller.
Yes, children and Yorkies can become best buds. Just takes teaching
and patience and lot's of love.
