I would be concerned. I have a 2 1/2 yr old daughter who is as gentle as an adult. And we have a 10 week yorkie a 5 yr old great dane and I am 5 mths prego. However my point is if either of my dogs ever growled, snarled, bite or attempted to bite one of my children the dog would be gone that day no questions asked. Yorkies can be retrained to behave and yes they are small dogs and may not maul your child to death but biting is biting and it hurts and it can scare your child of dogs for the rest of her life. My children come first then my doggie babies.... I would think about rehoming your precious pup!
