Yorkies have memories like elephants !

Small children can be rather careless about how they treat one, pulling their legs, hair, usually nothing real serious, but IF a Yorkie objects to that conduct, he just may never forgive the person/child that has done that to him. And, I've seen where a Yorkie (My Male Sneakers) has witnessed activity like that being done to another dog, and will not let that Child he saw do it, anywhere near him. (that's been two years now)

Advisors for training a Yorkie, ALWAYS warn against placing a Yorkie with small children. They are not wrong.
