I'm curious, where do the yorkies sleep? I find it hard to believe they haven't found a favorite human to attach themselves too. I agree with the other posters. Yorkies return the love you hand to them a hundred-fold. Spend some time with them yourself if the kids aren't favored by them.

If you don't like em in your bed, then purchase some doggy beds & put them in your room or some place that the kids won't bother them. I fear if you don't spend time with them, then your kids (following your example) don't either.

I think they are probably used to trying to stay out of everyones way, as they must have felt they were. A little attention & love will go a long way to turning these guys around. Please at least give them 5-6 months of some attention, & see what happens. By all means, do not purchase another one!

As any Yorkie owner will tell you, a little love & attention WILL go a long way. Just remember that they have been over-looked so long, that it will take some time. But I promise you, once they love you, you will NEVER regret choosing this breed. Once you have the adoration of a Yorkie, YOU will never be the same.

Best of wishes to you, & please keep us posted of your progress with your little ones.
