Real story in my opinion is that yorkies and young children do not mix. My yorkie is frantic when around children. He was a year old when I got him, and my guess is he was exposed to children before he came home. Young children will see a pup as a play thing, a stuffed animal, and can do some serious harm to a yorkie. Mine is 7 lbs, the size of a newborn human baby. In my honest opinion, I think it's easier to have children after a person has been a yorkie mom. Yorkies are almost like having another child, and I'm afraid too many people will push a yorkie aside in favor for their children when the newness of having a pup wears off. Excuses will come up like, "I don't have time for it anymore," "My kids soccer practice comes first," etc etc. There are exceptions, but for the most part, those are the reasons so many people re-home their dogs.

A larger yorkie that is not a puppy may work. (12+ pounds) Unless you can commit to constant vigilance, and teach your grandchildren to only handle the pup while they are sitting, it may work.
