| Welcome to Yorkie Talk. What size are/were your poodles? Many breeders will not sell their pups to families with children. Most Yorkies are fragile, although some are larger and sturdier. My Yorkies are larger, 9 pounds, but they have a fragile build. Disposition is another consideration. Many Yorkies tend to be high energy, and need a lot of attention and care. There are many people here with young children and Yorkies, but it is not the breed I would recommend for most young families. When my brothers and I were young, I know a Yorkie would not have been appropriate for us.

I agree. In most cases, I'd not recommend yorkies to families with small children.

| Thank you so much. I appreciate your advice. I have had miniatures. They are pretty sturdy. I will just wait then until my little one is older. |
