I was always told, no. But my Ricki loved kids. His favorite was when they put him the the play cars and pushed him around. I have pics in my album. He also loved water, esp the lake. I think he thought he was a lab.
But kids are scary because they are unfimilar. We used to joke that we had a racist dog. Not that racisum is funny and our family is far from it being in California, but with living in a mostly white house, in a mostly white community, if he saw a person with darker skin he would go nuts. Took some training.
My dog loved our kids. And was very tollarent to pain from toddlers and he was about 7years old when they were born. He was small but a buff 6.5 lbs. Some yorkies are very fragile.
I think like any breed it depends on the dog and training. |
