We are getting a new Yorkie puppy!! We already have a large dog (Grady). Grady is almost 4 and we got him when he was 2. He grew up with a Yorkie before he came to live with us. I have two daughters, 9 and 6 years old, as well.
Grady is such a great dog. He is SO well behaved and never barks, tries to escape etc. We are really excited about getting a puppy and my husband grew up in a family of dog breeders, so we do understand the time and attention the little one will need. I know Grady is great with small dogs. I am not really worry about that. The thing I am worried about is that I have always had large dogs and I associate small dogs with biting and yipping. I know that is not true for all dogs and there are PLENTY of large dogs that do not behave well. (many are my neighbors!)
I was hoping to get some advice from Yorkie owners about behavior traits, training...things like that. Especially from someone who has young children, like we do. I Googled it and every site said NEVER get a Yorkie with small kids. I just know you can't trust all sources. My daughter's father has two pitbulls and they are the nicest, most well behaved dogs I have ever seen and MANY people think they are vicious dogs. So... I want some advice from the people who know!
Ps... I have already enrolled the new puppy in Puppy Kindergarten classes. We are getting him this weekend
Thanks in advance for any advice!
