I think yorkies, as all pets, are going to behave according on how they were raised, just like your own kids... Luna was raised with having a lot of kids comming in and out the house, beside my own kids... She has a wonderful temper and is very very very patient with kids, but she will never be unsupervised with any kid that is not one of mine... I would be afraid someone (either the dog or the kid) would be hurt... I am willing to raise our second pup, (still no name decided) the same way, everyone is allowed to pet him, nicely and carefully, I don?t allow anyone to pick him up yet, he is still too squirmy, and if they want to pet him, everyone has to be seated.
On the other hand, my kids have been raised around pets, and are gentile, nice and caring... so, I would say, go for it, if you will have the care, the time and the intention to supervise everyone...
My kids are 6 and 9 now, but they were 5 and 8 when we got Luna... and my 5 years old dedicated her so much time to hand feed her, and train her...
