I have three kids ages 3, 2 and 9 mos. and they get along great with our yorkie. In fact, Luna prefers playing with my 2 yr. old son over everyone else. I think that raising them with children from puppyhood is key. I wouldn't bring a rescue into a home with small children for the simple fact that you don't know the dog's background. In my opinion it all depends on how responsible the parents are. Interactions between the children/dog should always be supervised. I have my kids sit on the floor when they play with the dog and I would never let them carry her around!
