See I disagree with the "small children=no yorkie" I can understand why some might be worried and concerned about the children hurting the dog but even an adult can hurt a dog by accident (i know some adults that are more clumsy than children lol) I have 3 children and they are so careful with Max. I feel its the parents job to explain to the kids and teach them. I would have been devastated if I couldnt have a puppy just because I have kids
