I have a 12 year old son and two teenage daughters who are lovely with my 16 week pup.My son came to puppy classes and has taught Holly to fetch.They have such fun together.I did have to insist he didn't wind her up too much though,but he is old enough to understand and loves her. I think a bigger,more resiliant dog would be best for smaller children. I had a lab as a child and that dog would let me roll all over it,it was so gentle.Hard for a child to walk,though,as he pulled,but that was down to training. Have you friends with Yorkies whom you could visit and get an idea? I would still advise something bigger.how about a Westie or a poodle or spaniel cross? |
