I couldn't agree more with SnowWa and some others that have posted in this thread. I have a small yorkie that is afraid of nothing! except children... She'll bark down the largest Streetcar but children freak her out. That being aside it really does only take one fall of the child or drop of the yorkie by the child that can seriously harm or kill your yorkie. Even the best behaved well meaning child can (and has) harmed a tiny yorkie.
Maybe a Silky Terrier or a hardier small breed is best suited for you at now? Children are clumsy and it's not their fault. But all it takes is a 40 pound child falling on a 4 pound yorkie and you can guess the results at times.
Like others here the breeder I got my yorkie from will not sell to families with small children. |
