Thanks yall! I already told the breeder that I would really like to get him just need some time to really think it over hence why he wont come home for another two weeks) and my husband has a name picked out and such. When we met the dog and it's parents they were very lax and not nippy. I have only had one yorkie prior to this who passed away recently. My dog was my life and my routine as my husband works during the day so these past few months have been a time to reflect but I feel ready for a new dog. I also do feel I am capable of handling it and getting it ready for a baby.
My previous dog didn't have experience with children so I think the really big thing that worries me is a dog and a new baby, but thats why we found a dog with a good personality and his parents were really super nice. Thanks for the feedback I will take it all into consideration. I think aside from my sisters saying not to, the general consensus was to get the dog acclimated before babies arrival hence why we chose an older pup.
I've read a few stories online about people who couldn't get their yorkies accustomed to new babies because the dog was jealous, so I think that was my big worry. |
