Yorkies are toy dogs. No toy dog is a good choice for a small child. A 2 year old toddler does not have the stability or the coordination to even be around a tiny little puppy from a toy breed. If your 2 year old falls on top of that puppy, she will either seriously injure the dogh or even kill it. If she motors around the house, carrying her puppy, and she drops it or "sets it down too hard"...which I just read last week......it will break tiny bones or kill the puppy. Children are too loud and move to fast....this scares Yorkies and can cause behavorial issues. Please reconsider this plan. Choose a large breed dog that can fit in with your 2 year old without hurting either of them. Toy dogs around human babies is a disaster waiting to happen, I can guarantee you that! |
