Also heard they have bad separation anxiety as I work full time so I would be away from the house sometimes 8 hrs a day sometimes my husband does get home early so the dog may be alone 5 hrs of the day. just wondering how true that is.

Kim,
You should post this on the General YT Board. I think you'll get a lot more input than here.
Some Yorkies are good with children & some aren't. Some children are good with small animals, & some aren't.
Since Yorkies are small, the children should be over 5 to 7 years of age. You should get a Yorkie on the big (tea pot) side (over 7 pounds).
Lots of Yorkie owners are away during the day. Older Yorkies sleep a lot. You need to make sure they are in a safe place, have toys to play with, a comfortable place to sleep, & water. Your other dogs would be company.
You should check out rescues.
