 Yorkies & Toddlers
Hi,
I'm looking to get some advice from the wonderfully knowledgeable people from this site. My husband and I would like to get a dog for our small little family. We have a 3 yr old daughter who is extremely gentle with dogs. I've heard and read that yorkies are no good with children because of their small size and sometimes their temperament. My mother has an 11 year old Pom who loves my daughter and she is very careful with Shadow and gentle. She knows to give him his space when needed and doesn't even touch his face or get up closer to his face because I've taught her to respect him. Poms are notorious for being horrible with kids but Shadow has been the exception and has been wonderful with my daughter since she was a baby. We have also had experience with yorkies. My brother and sister in law had one for nearly 10 years. She was a wonderful sweet mild mannered girl that we loved and cared for when they needed a babysitter. They soon had my nephew and Miki was amazing with Conner even as a small baby and into toddler age. Thoughts and opinions on getting my daughter a yorkie? Any feedback or experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
