Ok with all due respect I did my research and I still chose a Yorkie. I knew it was going to be hard but my daddy always told me the harder the task the bigger the reward So nay sayers aside thank you all for the advise. I am not taking the puppy back or rehoming him. Kopper is a part of this family. Just like Fred who btw is a Jack russel that lives outside. A dog that is also said not to be a good small kid dog who is WONDERFUL with my kids. I know Kopper just needs time and patience I just wondered if I was missing anything being the newbie yorkie owner that I am. The dog is never ever ever left alone with either of the kids. My kids are wonderful and great (probably the best kids ever lol and yes I may be partial) But they are still kids and sometimes if they mean to or not kids hurt dogs. So I leave things undone and spend a lot of time socializing our puppy with our family and house training our puppy. He is a joy and runs and plays I honestly think he just has a very aggressive sounding play bark/growl. But I will keep everyone updated. One minute they are giving kisses and the next he is growling. I promised hubby to watch them extra extra close and I always correct him with a no no when he growls at the baby. Play or not its a behavior I want him to know is unacceptable. Then I lay him down sit the baby in my lap and take his hand and show him how to softly stroke the puppy. We CAN do this
