| Is a Yorkie right for us?
This is my first posting here. We lost our dog in Hurricane Katrina. He was a big guy that we could not evacuate and a friend was SUPPOSED to be taking care of him but he escaped from the yard. Hard to talk about. I love dogs and miss having one. Figured a small dog would be great that way I KNOW I will not have the same problem again.
Been researching yorkies and the more I see the more I fall in love, but I have concerns. I want to make sure that this breed would be a good choice for my family and also that my family would be a good choice for a Yorkie.
I am a 38 year old stay at home mom. My hubby and I have 5 children. (Kind of a brady bunch thing) The 3 youngest still live at home. A 12 year old son, an 11 year old daughter and our little surprise package 3 year old daughter. I also babysit at times a boy that is almost 3.
Even with the demands of having children I still feel that I have lots of love for what I read are grooming and attention demands of this particular breed, but I have heard mixed opinions on if this is a good breed with children and would also love some tips on picking a breeder.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks |
