I've never heard yorkies are bad with kids at all. What I do feel is that people need to be VERY careful of having yorkies around young kids bc yorkies are so vulnerable due to their size. |
I had read and been told by alot of people that yorkies werent good with kids and really that they are "one person dogs". That hasnt been true at all with Athena. Personally I think its all a matter of how you raise them, how much socialization they get ect. I mean if your a person that rarely has guest and doesnt take your dog out around people very much, including kids, of course they are going to be like that. they have to be exposed to kids/ people to learn its ok and can be fun. I have a house full of people of all ages all of the time, and I take them out alot around people. So they get all kinds of socialization. I thought that was especially important with Athena being she was so young when I got her. She was only 6 weeks old.
