is your yorkie/s good with kids?? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

JeanieK · 08-09-2006, 03:13 PM

My guys love my grandkids. Of course they are both still puppies, but I can't see that changing as long as I don't allow the kids to abuse them.

Zoey is my nephew's best friend. When he comes sleeps here, they do everything together.

browniesmom622 · 08-09-2006, 03:19 PM

Brownie is great with kids in the house he will put up with it all " ear pulling biting pulling the hair pull his legs ''
he doesnt like kids outside the house which is weird
unless he knows the kid well otherwise if the kid comes in hes great soon as they get out the gate he barks "i dont know hes strange lol "

Zoe tends to be a bit timid at times, especially around kids that yank at her...she'll hide when they are too rough. those that are gentle are the kids she tolerates.

Why is it that Yorkies fear/hate/bark @ kids?? Angel did this to DJ30's brother-in-law's niece.

alaskayorkie · 08-09-2006, 11:15 PM

My guys are wary of kids but not terrified. If the kid is nice and just wants to pet them, they're OK with that. As soon as they swarm and try to pick them up, they run.

I used to allow kids to pick them up, but I stopped. The kids get distracted, and the next thing you know they're hanging onto them with one hand and eating an icecream with the other.

LOL... Mine are WONDERFUL with evrybody including strangers, kids and probably even BURGLARS

As a matter of fact My 6 year old sets Pearl on his head to watch TV. LOL Don't worry Pearl is safe. They lay back on the sofa and pillows all around

yes as long as they are supervised

bevpeter · 08-10-2006, 06:49 AM

My Niece is 10 and my nephew is 8 and Rylie is great with them (Rylie is 7 months), always wants to play and when they sleep over Rylie's the first one to jump on the bed and give them morning kisses whether they want them or not

I also have a 2 year old cousin Rylie has only met him once but she was pretty good with him, We'll see how this christmas goes, it will be Rylie's first Christmas and the kids in the family range from 13,11,10,8,2, and a new born baby.

Jasmine loves everyone. Especially the kids. When we take her places (and she goes with us a lot) she wants everyone to pay attention to her and when she does her little dance on her back legs with her little front paws up begging for attention, she definitely gets it. We took her to ball games all summer and everyone loved her but the ones she particuarly liked were the kids.

I have 8 grandchildren ranging in age from 5 to 21 and Jas loves all of them. I just had a new greatgrandbaby in June and Jas loves her too. I was afraid she would be jealous because of all the attention and cuddling I was giving the baby, but she just waited her turn and jumped up on me for her cuddling as soon as I put the baby down. She always wanted to sniff the baby and lick her toes. I put the baby on my bed one day and stood back to see what Jas would do and she just sniffed her all over and then laid down a little back from the baby. She was very gentle around her.

I'm like the other YTer who posted in this thread, I think I have the perfect Yorkie. She is so pretty, funny, sweet, loveable, and very, very smart.
I wouldn't change anything about her.

Our Westie also loves everyone including kids.

Madelynn_Roxy · 08-10-2006, 11:32 AM

My yorkie is in love with kids, maybe because she was always around them. But seriously, she's happy to see almost anyone and kids are no different. The only exception is when she has puppies, but that's only because she's protective of them as all mothers are

DENISE517 · 08-10-2006, 11:40 AM

Maddie loves kids. I have a 2 yr old and a 12 yr old. She's only 5 months old. If my 2yr old is watching a movie or something Maddie will bark at her til she runs around and plays with her. They are so cute together. Lexi is great with Maddie. She knows to be gentle.

snickers mom · 08-17-2006, 05:59 AM

snickers is good with my kids... but then again my kids are good with her...

i'm big on the whole respect natures creatures things... and thats how i raise my kids...
my 2yo daughter loves her and when snickers playful nips at her she just says "uh uh" and says "give me kisses puppy nickers!!!" and then she does and my dtr just smiles and laughs and kisses her back

my oldest son is timid and quiet and the puppy is really his best friend... he always wanted a puppy but he was afraid of dogs (go figure) thats why i think snickers and he click so well... and he isnt afraid of her and so gentle

and my middle child is a lil special needs but he has a very very big respect for nature and all natures creatures... when it comes to animals he is the most gentle and caring soul

so yes... snickers is good with my kids but my kids are good with her and thats how i raise them all together

irishawk · 08-17-2006, 10:06 AM

We don't have any kids in the family, but whenever we come across them in public Howie seems to like them fine. We plan on having kids of our own in 5 years or so and figured we would get the dog now so he would be calm and well trained by the time babies came around.
