This is a tough question. I would never take Lola to a dog park where there wasn't a small dog section, but that's because she's less than 3 lbs and very shy. The one I take her to sometimes does have a small dog section, but I definitely see some yorkies out playing with the big dogs and having a blast. I think it really depends on your pup and how comfortable and sturdy he is when playing with other dogs.

That being said, there are always health risks for dogs that are not vaccinated, might have kennel cough and other respiratory diseases, etc. Like someone else mentioned, there are risks with everything I guess. I would do more research to find small dog or yorkie meetups in your area... I've found that people who attend these tend to be much more conscious and responsible than your average dog park attendee (sorry to generalize).
