| I have seen more yorkies dropped and killed by adults(some on accident, some on purpose) than I ever have kids..If I was breeding, I would NOT have a problem selling to people with young kids, if I was around the kids and saw how they act..do you know how many adults kick and abuse these yorkies when they pee on the floors, etc...? I have seen this in my lifetime with all kinds of dogs..please DON'T think it's just kids you have to worry about! Accidents happen! |

I have to say something here being with what just happened to my baby. My younger kids are great with my babies they are very careful with them and treat them like glass because they know how fragile they are. Now my 18 year old (most would call a ADULT) isn't she is not good with them at all as a matter of fact that is why i am taking care of her little girl right now. So as far as kids and yorkies or any dog teach your kids how to behave around them and they will be fine but it is the adults you have to watch out for IMO. Mary

| what would you recommend for girlies like me who have had a yorkie before having any children? My hubby and I are planning on starting a family within the next year to year 1/2 and I just do not want to cause any issues with my furbaby and child. I want the transition to go smoothly and I surely do not want my Bella to have any anxiety, jealousy or aggresive issues. Any advice or ideas on how to deal with this scenario and make it as less stressful as possible? Thanks! Christina

| I think people tend to overlook animal abuse. I'm glad she was prosecuted. How would she like it if an elephant kicked her!? Do you know if she was sentenced to anything? |

| I have a four year old daughter. She is very sweet and loving with Tucker and he adores her! I take him with me everyday to pick her up from school and he will cry until he can sit in her lap. We have lots of kids over and he gets sooo excited to see them. Again, he will cry if he can't get to them. I supervise him with children 100% of the time. Not only could he get hurt, but the kids could do something to him to make him afraid of kids for the rest of his life. I think that even if your children are older, you still have to supervise. One of the neighboorhood kids was over playing today and she asked me if she could swing Tucker on the swings and she just turned 8. I was like DO WHAT!? |

| I have two. One is five and the other is seven. They are not allowed in my dog room unless I am there and they are sitting on the floor and only for about ten minutes at a time. That's about as long as they can last without getting rowdy with the dogs. When i have puppies, I take them each one a puppy to the family room and after the kids are seated on the couch right across from me, they are each one allowed to hold a puppy until they get restless and then puppies are put back up. |

I forgot to say I have seen my grandaughter fall when she was younger with a pup in her arms and roll to her side with it. if she had landed on it, it would have been dead. it isn't that they are mean because they have been raised around my dogs. it was an accident. heck, my husband is't even in my doggie room much. When we first got ceeby, he was trying to sit in the floor and nearly sat on Ceeby. i snatched him out from under him at the last minute. so yeah, I am real paranoid and very protective of my babies. perhaps too much but it is the way i want it. | |

| I say go for it! We have a 6 yr old daughter and a 2 yr old son and they get along just fine with our Yorkie. We don't allow them to pick the dog up because they just aren't coordinated enough yet to do it without putting some discomfort on the dog. We also keep a close eye on them when they are playing because Yorkie's are fragile dogs and kids can get rough sometimes. But all in all it has been very easy for all to get along and we just love our Yorkie. He has become part of the family.

| I agree. Most of the time when children hurt a dog it's an accident. I know it isn't always, but mostly. Adults are mean and cruel to animals more than children are. I think that's awfully sad to not sell a puppy to someone just because they have children. But I'm sure glad that all breeders aren't that way or we wouldn't have our Scout, and he has sure brought a lot of fun and joy to our home.
