If you feel it is best for your family, I say go for it!
While I don't ever place a pup in a home with children under the age of 12, my decision is on a case by case basis. A larger pup may be of consideration.

Yorkies are usually very loveable and love children. However, it's based on their pedigree, if the were bred for temperament, and well socialized.
