It's all in how you raise and teach your kids..and yorkie
I had a small maltese when both of my boys were born, and though she has passed away we now have 3 little furballs running about the house. My kids learned great lessons right from the beginning. I always taught them that dogs are not toys and were never allowed to treat them as if they were and have never held them. They don't run in the house or play rough when the dogs are running around. They are best best friends! You do have to watch them like a hawk always though.
