My Daughter was 5 when we got ours. You have to be more careful when they are pups. We always had her sit down before she held them. We had to teach her the yorkie shuffle so she didnt step on them. Another thing you have to be careful of are your children accidentally dropping something on them. You also have to make sure any children that come in the house are aware of your rules regarding the pup. That is in fact the only incident we have had with a child hurting our pups, My Daughter had a friend over and he kicked Chachi in the ribs. Hes not allowed at our house ever again. Thankfully Chachi was an adult and wasnt hurt except bruised |
