I really don't have much to add. I have a 5 pound yorkie, and a 2 pound Biewer on its way. I have 4 grandchildren in the area, and everyone gets along fine. The kids know the rules, and are very careful with Sawyer. It helps that their mom got them a hampster the same time we got sawyer, so they are very aware of how careful you must be with small critters. If you feel confident in the behavior of the kids, you should be fine; but sometimes a little larger one is the better choice to play with kids. It is up to the dog and the kids. You know in your heart if it is right or not. Good luck either way, you will surely adore your little furface
