No she didnt that I remember |
I have two children (ages 4 and 2) and our two yorkies are their best friends! of course, they are always supervised (because we all know that accidents can happen)....but I can honestly say I've had never had any problems. My yorkies are larger than some (12lb and 8lb). Good luck in your decision :) xxx |
I have to agree it would be better to get a bigger yorkie , my puppy is not frequently around small children, therefore she does not care for little kids. I do have a teenage daughter who is 13 her friends come and go often and Laci is fine with them!! Real small kids frighten my dog because of thier quick movements but that is because she is not exposed to them often! |
I have 4 children ages 10, 6, 4 and 3. My Fancy is a little girl weighing around 3 lbs and they are wonderful with her. They are always watched. I think since Fancy has been around them since she was 16 weeks that is all she knows so she is okay with kids. I think some older yorkies might have a harder time being around younger children if they were not raised with them at an early age. |
I have 3 kids ages 18,16, and 14. Diva is 5lbs and is currently 4 years old. We have had her since she was 8 weeks old. Diva LOVES my teenagers and their friends. She seems to thrive on all the noise and extra hugs and kisses. My house is quite busy on weekends! She is also good with my 5 year old niece. We did, however, have to teach my niece the proper way to play with and love on Diva, and we never leave them unsupervised. I think a larger yorkie would be great for your family as long as it is socialized as a puppy around kids. (i.e. not sure about adopting an older dog as so many seem to suggest regularly.) Good luck with finding a breeder in your area. Can't wait to see you baby when you get him or her. Welcome to the YT family. |
Go for it! You are right to think about getting a larger one though. I know people with little yorkies where their yorkie has broken its leg just from jumping off of the couch! Buster & Bailey are so adventureous & playful, and my husband told me that it's a good thing they aren't smaller because we may have broken them by now (jokingly of course!). We expected them to be about 6 & 8 pounds full grown according to the vet & the breeder, but they are 10 & 13 pounds and we love every inch of them! I have no children, but Buster & Bailey are around kids all the time and LOVE all people, and all dogs for that matter. If they're around kids for long consecutive periods of time, I can see them looking at me like "come on, mom, can you make these kids go away now?" - but they've never once done anything mean or as much as growled at anyone & they're 11 months old now. I'm sure that if you decide to raise a pup in your home, it will be used to being around your family & love all of you!! |
I have one yorkie , Tia and she adores kids . I have no idea why. If she hears them she waggles her tail and pulls on the leash. I work with children and quite often I bump into them in my neighborhood and they fall in love with Tia and visa versa.Go for it. |
Mine is wonderful! We intentionally bought a little larger yorkie, for her safety! And, we socialized her from a tiny age to work well with lots of kids-she is in a dance studio a lot with almost 100 kids--and loves it. We have rules in order to protect her and not allow her to be injured. But, she loves the crowd! |

Bella Mia is not exposed to little kids often either. She doesnt seem to care for them especially since the puppies. Shes more "nippy". She nips at their hands when they come running at her. |
Jackson is 12.5 pounds and does very well w/ all the children that he knows. He lives with a 16 month old little girl and sees a 5 year old boy often. He LOVES them to pieces and they can do whatever they want to him and he doesn't care. He does, however, get nervous w/ a lot of kids around that he does not know. Not aggressive in any way, just nervous. |
I have two skin kids (5 and 4). We have two yorkies, a 3 pounder and a 5 pounder. We also have Dirty our 45 pound Boxer mix. Everyone gets along fabulous. Lexi our new girl (5 pounds) is much more outgoing and people loving than Lily but Lily is also good with the kids. She just has more of a reserved personality. |
