I have loved yorkies all my life and convinced many friends to buy them just so I could be around them, but I waited until my youngest child was 13 before I got one and even then I had to convince every breeder that my home would be a safe place for such a small dog. Even with my family I am constantly reinforcing that we have "babies" in the house and they cannot slam doors, they have to watch where they step, and they have to know where those babies are at all times if they are the only ones home with them.
Having a yorkie is really like having a toddler and all the same precautions need to be taken. |
