wow good topic, & everyone has great points of view, i don't think anyone is saying that you absolutely can't have small children with yorkies, situations happen & im sure there are many yorkies with small children living awesome lives. i have only had 2yrs experience with a yorkie & i truly think yorkies (mine anyway) are a little different (in a great way), due to size & demeanor. my little guy is 6 lbs absolutely is always under foot because he always wants to be with you, he likes people a lot but i have noticed that small children make him more skiddish. i have actually tried to figure it out & i think it is the fact that kids are always moving & a bit faster than adults. my nephew is autistic absolutely loves animal & tries to be gentle in fact he is even more gentle but his movements & caution is picked up by oliver & he acutually growls @ him. he is the only person i have ever seen him growl at, obviously we keep them seperate & let my nephew interact with mallory who is more laid back. yorkies are terrific my daughter tells me all the time i love my dogs more than her. obviously not true, but they are up there & like them more than many people. i choose to go home to be with them too ofter rather than friends. |
