I think you were mislead. They can do fine with kids, but it takes a lot of vigilance. They are definitely one person dogs. They love their families amd will spend time with other members, but it's so obvious who they are truly devoted to. Yorkies have a person and they gravitate to that one person. I'm not a mom, so I can't give my dog that kind of training he needs to adapt to kids. But, while he might growl at children, there is 1 little boy he does like. This boy is well behaved, and listened so well when his mom or I would tell him to slow down, let my dog approach him, give my pup a chance to sniff, and on and on. They play chase now. Not for very long, as my furry one would much rather play fetch with me.
