My husband had wanted a husky. I advised against it and we got a pug instead. But I did read that you should get the small dog first. But do raise them as puppies together.
For everyone else, I know you do not want to have a husky for say 5 years with it being the only pet and then get a small pet or have a baby.
This is one where a husky hurt a baby

dog attacks in general:

You don't hear much in the news about dogs attacking eachother, because I guess it's not big enough news. But I suppose you can compare the types of dogs who would hurt the babies to the ones who would hurt a small yorkie. I have even found an article where a bulldog killed a baby.
I just hope that whatever your roomate decides has your yorkie's best inrests in mind.
