From what I know...the main reason is for the Yorkies safety.
Some breeders will not sell to a home with young kids. The thought is kids like to be physical with dogs and small breeds aren't as sturdy as a Lab puppy would be.
Also, I think if small breeds,Yorkies, become fearful of kids at a young age they can become snappy.
But, like you, I think Yorkies can be good around kids if the kids are taught how to behave around them. |
