 One out of 3 tolerates Children?
Her are my odds, only 1 out of my 3 Yorkies will Tolerate/likes children.
Artie is 10 1/2 lbs. and 5 yrs. old, he LOVES people and other Dogs but he will avoid Children, he is completely Trained & Socialized and he will sit and take it if I command him but he prefers NOT to! I do NOT Force him but I do try to coax him. Abigayle is 7 lbs. and 4 yrs. old but her Breeder is a "Grand
Mother" and had her Grandchildren around her ever since she was born, so she Loves & Adores them all the time. Pom Pom is their Daughter and I have had her since she was born, she is only 5 lbs. and going on 3 yrs. old she has been around Children of all ages but she hates them! Since she is the smallest one, everyone always wants to carry her. They also get excited and scream & fight over her. Remember I can control my Dogs but I can't control how the Children treat them? They do not Trust them and I'm sure they can feel their Energy? She has had too many un-pleasant experiences with them.
So I don't force them to tolerate anyone. That's just how Yorkies are, it's a well known fact that they just don't like them, what can you do?
