[jezzabella]

no respectable breeder would sell to a home with a child in it much less one that tried to hurt one of their puppies, that has been rule of thumb since i bought my first yorkie at 18 years old and i am now 35. i am not saying anything bad about your parenting skills or lack there of but i will say this and you can take it how you want. i have had 4 yorkies, my son is 6 and autistic and adhd and he has never hurt one of my dogs. 2 of them lived to be 15 years old before they passed of things not child related. the other is my 3 yr old yorkie named jezzabelle. he calls her his best friend...you can see that as sweet or sad whichever i dont really care but the point is yes children can be in a house with yorkies however my son knows better than to even think about hurting an animal so he would have never done that and we are getting our 4th one tomorrow. there is no way to prepare for this. my son was born into it. the reason i say there is no way to prepare is because you have no idea how your child will react or how jealous he/she will get if any and how they will act out on that, especially when being 2 years old. i am actually a counselor and i would suggest if you have to ask this question then you already know this is not the time for your family to get one....just saying
