Mocha never barks. When he first discovered barking I thought the sound was the cutest thing. However, I was warned about encouraging him so I sternly told him not to bark. So he learned from the beginning that barking is not good. Now he does not bark at all. He finds other ways to communicate with me without barking.
Although Mocha is more attached to me (glued to my side), he does love Grandma. I do believe yorkies can be good family dog. Of course, your kids will have to be committed to taking care of him or her. I have to say that kids do tend to lose interest after a while. It is more important that you are committed to taking care of this new little one, not just feeding and grooming, but also exercising and playing. Yorkies are very attached to their owners and wants to do everything together. I take my baby out running/walking every day, plus going to places on weekends. They are not going to be happy if left in the house all day.
