Really guys... return the dog, do more research, Yorkie are not for families with small kids ??? I have to say "in my opinion" Thats ridiculous !
I have 4 Yorkies, 2 kids and I have done in home childcare for more than 25 yrs. and have the occasional litter of Yorkies (as I do now). My Quincy is now 10 and we got him when my son was 1yr old. Plus I've had kids of all ages in and out of my home for those past 10 yrs with no incident what so ever. Its not the type of dog that you must worry about it is the way that you teach your child regardless of age how to treat the animal, whether is be a (Yorkie, cat, duck or whatever the case may be) and that goes both ways. You must teach both your child and the dog/Yorkie what is acceptable behavior and what is not.
We love and adore our Yorkies and without them our lives would feel empty. When trying to find homes for our pups I would never, ever refuse a family a pup just because they have children. What is so wrong! I do however make sure that they are capable of providing the pup with the appropriate care and training necessary and will grow up in a happy and healthy environment . ♥ OP continue doing what your doing. It wont happen over night but with time your pup and your son will adjust to one another. You have to understand that your pup has gone from all fur kids and playing at will to now only skin kids. Thats a big adjustment, just as it is for you son who has this little furry critter that he doesn't know quite what to do with. Give it time . . .
