My parents had 2 yorkies before they had any children. I loved growing up with them and I know that's why yorkies are my favorite breed. My parents just taught us how to treat our dogs - not that hard to do if you actually put forth the effort to BE A PARENT.
Belle is 5 lbs, my youngest son is 7 years old, he was only 6 when she came home. I have had no problems with teaching my children how to behave around a small dog. My son was only 5 yrs old when Oliver came home as a ten week old 2 lb puppy - no problems there either.... but again.... I've put effort into parenting.
