| Simon will let children play with his ears, stick their fingers in his mouth, kiss him, pick him up, you name it.....he LOVES kids. Hallie not so much, I think she is scared of them. But then again, I am too so like mother like daughter hehe |

| Ruby adores everyone - including all children. Roxy adores my children and is cautious around other children. She gets nervous around feet/hands but once I tell the children to approach her slowly and then stop a few feet away so they can extend a hand so she can sniff them first - then she is fine. She doesn't like kids with fast feet or hands - then she runs and hides behind me. Neither nip or bark at kids. J |

| I have 3 kids, ages 10, 9 and 5, Tinkerbell adores all three of them. She has never tried to bite them, I have always taught them to respect her size and to handle her with love, I do not let my 5 year old pick her up because he is a child after all, but my experience is that my Yorkie is wonderful with children because she is used to being around them. I don't know about all Yorkies She is a good baby with all people big and small

| Dezi growls and snaps at them. I would love to get her out of that behavior because I have three small nieces. If we are outside, she is friendly to other dogs and adults. When she sees a kid, she growls. |

| Remmy avoids most children. He is not mean to them he just stays away from them. Chance loves everyone including children.
