My son was 14 when we got Lucy. But he is an only child and very mature for his age. Lucy's Breeder said she could tell that he was kind and gentle with animals (which he is). And she met him like three times. He does the roughhousing mostly with the Westie who loooves it; and less with Lucy because she is so tiny. He won't even let Lucy sleep in his bed because he flops over so much and is afraid he would hurt her.

So I think Yorkies can be ok with older children but agree - less so with younger children. All the kids at the park want to pet Lucy, which she loves, but I never allow them to pick her up.

Good Luck!
