By all means get a Yorkie! But I am assuming that not only will your daughter dress up her Yorkie but want to play/run with him/her also. You might want to get one who is going to be larger for your first Yorkie. The little ones are soo cute but not much of an armful if you want to hug. I have a 9# male and a 3# male. I tend to be very careful handling the 3# pup because his size makes me think he is very fragile. If you watch him play you know he's not but just the same it's how I feel. When I hold my big baby I know I'm holding something and really, he's not big, just big compared to the 3# pup.
I guess I answered the question of if the dog would bond or tolerate your daughter. LOL Do keep in mind that just like people dogs have different temperments. Do some research on temperments so you can pick out the best for your family and lifestyle. Then talk to the breeder of the pups, she/he will know the temperments of her pups best. For instance, one line of thot says don't pick out the one that runs to you because it will be very active. Another says that one who avoids you will be terribly shy and hide all the time. I can't remember what it said about the personality in between but there was some negative aspects there too. Sylvia |
