 too young?
A five year old is too young a child to have around a toy breed IMHO. You would need to be on the both like a hawk. Read through some of the threads here about the accidents that can happen to your puppy with adults around much less little kids. If you were to obtain your toy dog on petfinder.com they frequently won't re-home a toy breed in a home with children under ten years old. Because then the family finds out that small dogs and small kids don't mix--at least not well---and the dog ends up not fitting in with the family. |
