We have two children 10 and 8 that our Yorkie absolutely adores! He came from a home where there were 3 children under the age of 9. He weighs 5lbs. Sometimes I think it is better to have the kids and then the dog because the doggie grows up his whole life with kids around him/her. I think if you get doggie first then have kids the doggies no matter what breed can get very jealous and take a dislike to the crying, loud thing taking up all mommy and daddys time!
That being said I would not recommend getting a Yorkie baby while your children are very small..say under the age of 5 because they are not good at being gentle sometimes! A 2yr old and a 2lb dog are not a good combo!!
Good Luck and Congrats on your marriage!
