Hi, Welcome to YorkieTalk.
I think your daughter is old enough for a yorkie.
I was worried about the neighbourhood kids hurting my yorkie Mya because her bones are so small ( she is now 3lbs )but the kids have been very good with her.
I do put Mya on the bed with me but not when we are sleeping because I fear we will toss and turn in our sleep and hurt her. Just flipping a blanket could send her airborne *grin* If you are getting a puppy you just have to remember that is like having a baby in the house. No sleeping in on days off, constantly having to know where the puppy is and what it is up to and sticking to schedule. Mya goes on pee pads and outside but sometimes misses the pads by a few inches. She is very frisky and still wants to play even after long walks. She is 13 weeks old. Your daughter will just have to remember to put her things way and not leave ANY thing on the floor that she does not want the puppy to get. It seems like we are re-puppy proofing our home every week ...haha. Today Mya brought me a pen, a grocery receipt and dragged a running shoe about the size of herself down the hall. Mya also has found her voice but only barks at our other dog and the cat when they will not play with her.
I think Mya does not have a barking problem because she is not a nervous dog and is not afraid of anything because I take her out a lot.
GOOD LUCK finding a puppy for your daughter. Make sure you have a vet check agreement with the seller. |
