There is a lot of grooming with yorkies, daily brushing, combing, cleaning out eye gunk, etc.

I understand you want your children to be responsible and want one that wont affect their allergies, with yorkies you can still have allergies, I myself suffer from dog allergies, I have to be careful with washing my hands after grooming etc. So its no guarantee.

Actually Poodles medium sized are very sturdy dogs and affect the allergies much less, that is why my first two dogs are yorkie-poos. You'll find them more agreeable to children.

God Bless in your final decision and wish you well

Great Post!
