How does your yorkie behave with babies/children? How does your yorkie behave with babies/children? Do they get jealous of your new baby? How do they act when kids come over? Just polling here.... |
Cassi is really good around kids, toddlers and babies. Not too sure about Ori as he hasn't been around with any children. |
Chachi is a bigger yorkie and loves all kids. My Jewels is nervous around them |
Maximus likes kids, but he wants to play with them. Currently, he doesn't get to run free around the house. He has an x pen in the kitchen (he sleeps in a crate at night). We get him out to play with him several times during the day. He goes CRAZY over my 5 yr old. Not sure if it is her long hair, or high pitched voice. And of course, if the kids are running past him, he jumps up and barks. I trust him around kids, but, they have to be careful around him when they get him "started", or his teeth will snag them in excitement. |
Mine are great with kids. They love them. But you have to watch them closely... sometimes kids will pick them up. If they drop them, or squeeze a little too hard, they can injure them. (Especially the tiny yorkies.) The kids would not hurt them on purpose. But Yorkies are really fast and accidents can happen. So the rule with mine is that they are not to be picked up. If they want to hold them, the kids sit down on the floor and let the puppies crawl into their laps. TJ and Sandy are not little.. they are 6 and 7 lbs. And if they come to me or go into their pen, ... they are to be left alone. I have 13 official grandkids and almost that many unofficial ones. And they all love my babies. |
I got Jamie right before my cousin's wife had their little girl. She and Jamie just love each other. She could stick her fingers right in his mouth and he would never bite her. However, I did work right from the very start to teach them both that they had to be gentle with each other. When my roommate got her yorkie, Beau he didn't know any better and when she stuck her fingers by his mouth for him to lick her he caught her with his puppy teeth. So she decided he was "Bad Beau" and she would love on Jamie and "oooh and ahhh" extra to show Beau what he was missing. Needless to say now that I've taught her not to stick her fingers in his mouth and worked with him to not be mouthy with her they're getting along much better. Jamie will sometimes get jealous if I'm holding a baby or another puppy, but he just pouts or if I'm sitting he'll climb up on my shoulder and lay his neck in front of my face for kisses. |
My Annie B was amazing with babies. She was so totally fascinated by them that she would completely ignore everything else, even food. I don't know if it was her maternal side, she was a breeder at a puppy mill for the first 5 yrs of her life. :( Or the baby smell, or what. But she loved whenever a baby came to visit us. She'd just sit and stare at them and gently touch them with her nose. |
mines gorda and ricko they do great with kids and babies but osito since he is our first yorkie and we don't have kids yet he get jealous:confused: when he see a baby.. |

Buddy loves kids as long as they don't try and pick him up. I watch him carefully with my 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter Isabella because she want's to love him all the time and hug him. He get's annoyed at times and dosen't want to be bothered but enjoys being around her. Loves her sister, Nicole the best. Nicole is his favorite love in the whole wide world. Encluding me! I think he just loves being with the kids but dosen't want them hugging or picking him up. He's not sure of them in that aspect. |
breezy is good with kids if they dont mind the jumping lol. he loves them. |
Jackson loves kids! He especially loves the kids he knows and is familiar with. The new kids tend to make him a little shy and nervous... because they come at him so fast, ya know? It's like "oh dog!" and three kids come rushing towards him, so of course he gets nervous. His first-time meetings with kids he doesn't know, he sort of backs up slowly when they first approach him but after a little bit longer, he allows them to pet him and just loves it. He's a bigger Yorkie, at 13 pounds! But, my little brother and sister for example (both really young! big age differences between us) he ADORES! |
This is all good news. I just wanted to check. I have often heard that dogs in general will get upset and jealous when you have a baby and all of the sudden they get more attention than the dog. Bella has only been around my cousin's little girl, but Alana was scared of Bella so I didn't exactly get the chance to see how that would have gone. She didn't seem bothered by her though. I will admit, my little Bella is a mama's girl! She has to be around me or in my lap at all times! |

get jealous, but they also can get a mothering, nurturing side as well. If you are pregnant (I have no idea if you are lol) the best things to do are to have someone bring home a blanket or socks of the babies from the hospital and let Bella sniff it before the baby comes home. You want your baby to be considered another member of your "pack" and the baby should be considered a leader to Bella as well. I know that when my mom was pregnant with my sister, their dog got jealous but not in a mean way. She just constantly wanted kisses, etc whenever the baby was being held. She was very motherly to the baby also, took care of her, etc. |
