You might not give up your Maddy, but I can tell you that one of the main reasons for owner surrenders is children!
I hope you are one who can work it out if/when children come along. There are plenty who do not.
You might find the topic uncomfortable, but it is sadly very true. I can promise you that many people who are swearing to love their yorkies will, in the future, be rehoming them when the chidren come along.
There is a recent thread here that I could go search for....where a person did just that and posted her beloved yorkie on Craig's List. He is now in our rescue. Today he had a dental and lost all but four of his remaining teeth, but the children are home being cared for. Not saying she did not love her yorkie...just saying that it is common...very common!
