Hi. New to forum. I've read about accidental deaths of yorkshire terriers from falls. Couldn't believe it when I was told today that my neice (18 years old) was holding her Aunt's silky terrier which is over 6 mos. but less than 1 yr., and it jumped out of her arms, broke its neck and died. She's devastated. She's held and loved this animal since her aunt got it when it was a baby. The pup had a broken leg from a fall when her cousin was holding it a couple of months ago. How common is this? Was going to get a Yorkie in August, but now I'm not so sure. I'm concerned and confusted.

Thanks for any advice or comments.
