Just curious. How does your yorkie get along with kids?

AND, does your dogs ever act overly possessive over their food? Big sometimes growls at us if we come near him when he has a special treat- not his normal treats, but things he doesn't get often. He's never bitten before but sometimes i worry that he might if i tried to take his treat. My husband thinks we should just let him eat in peace and leave him alone, but i don't like it when he growls at us. What to do?? He ONLY acts like that about his special treats. Other than that he's very sweet & loving.
