Well, I waited until my youngest was 7 yrs. old before I got my first yorkie, I was worried about her being too rough with a small dog. But two yrs. later my older daughter moved back home with her infant and 3 yrs. later my other daughter did and my dog loved the children, she was extra small so had to be watched so the kids didn't drop her or anything. Now 15 yrs. later we have 7 grandkids and 5 yorkies. All the dogs are great with them, none of my yorkies snap, growl or anything but want to lick and play with the kids. Mostly, I worry about the children hurting the dogs more then the other way around.
