I agree with a pp on this. I would be more concerned with the furbaby getting hurt. I have four kids from 8 years old to 1.5 years old. They have all done great with our 2 yorkie babies. My two furbabies were bigger than average, though, so that helped.
However, there were strict rules they had to abide by to protect the yorkies & my kids. I didn't allow the kids to pick up the puppies. If they wanted to hold them, they had to sit on the floor (only the carpet, too). I also monitored them carefully while playing with the pups.
If you teach your kids the right way to handle pets & supervise them properly, I am sure they will have a wonderful relationship!
Good luck! |
