I think waiting until your daughter is 6-9 years old would be best if you really have your heart set on a yorkie.

I have 2 grandchildren that spend quite bit of time at my home as they live less than 10 minutes away. My grandson is almost 4 years old and he still cannot be trusted alone with my little yorkie Tinkerbell. He moves too fast and has tripped over her a couple of times already. Tink is definitely nervous around him now. On the other hand my grandaughter is 10 and is great with her. If I had my grandson here more than he is I think I would have a nervous breakdown supervising him all the time. It only takes a second for an accident to occur and we are responsible for protecting these little angels.

Good luck with your decision.
