That being said, I don't know if this is your first child or not. If it is and it was me in that situation, with hindsight being what it is, I would wait and get a puppy after the baby. There is just so much going on with a new baby and you have so much less time for anything else than you think you will and you are so much more tired than you can imagine. I want that first year or two to be all about my baby. If this is your 2nd or 3rd child, you know what to expect, so you'd know better than anyone what you're capable of.
Best of luck with whatever you choose for you and your family. |
I think mine was tormented by children. So it's not that he hates them because "yorkies hate children" but because he has nothing but bad memories. He's very apprehensive with them around and will act scared if he hears them outside our kitchen window. I do think a word of caution should be given for those with young children and
tiny yorkies. That's why I think member Britster's Jackson has done so well growing up with Brit's younger sister. He's at least twice my yorkie's size and much much sturdier.
