Ok don't laugh lol. My daughter was born with severe asthma and was allergic to everything as a child. She wanted a puppy so bad and we had a friend with a pom who swore that a pom would help her allergies. It seemed this was the only dog she could be around that didnt affect her. (We didn't know about yorkies then). Anyway we got her a pom and she did great with it. Our pom was only a 5lb little girl but she was super with our kids. Mind you our youngest at the time was 8 though. My grandkids do great with our yorkies also but we have taught them to be gentle with them from the beginning. I seriously think it is very possible for children and any breed of small dog to get along if they are taught correctly. JMHO. I do however agree with the others if you want a mixed breed to check your local shelters. Welcome to YT. |
