Yorkies are not a good choice with a 1 year old chiild.
Some things to consider. Your one year old is a handful for you already. All one year olds are. It sounds like you are a single parent so no one else in the family to help you?
Problem with a puppy is that it will need to be taken out regulary especially as a puppy or there will be a multitude of accidents. How do you propose to do that when you have a one year old to get ready to take with you outside with the puppy. Far too late by then when a puppy has to go it has to go.
An alternative is a small dog trained to either pee pads or the potty park,
A puppy is a heck of a lot of work. An older dog would be heck of a lot of work as they have to still get used to you and your routine.
How stressed and overworked are you now iwth your 1 year old? That is what you have to consider, can you take on another 'child' which is what a puppy or dog works out to be in regards to time and commitment from you.
If you do go ahead and get a dog or puppy make sure you get one that you can return if it doesn't work out so you don't end up advertising on Kijiji.
A dog is a commitment, not a toy. |
