I credit that to them being raised with small children and having had other children in our home off and on throughout the years. They have been taught how to behave and trained from day one. That children are a big part of our lives and they are here to stay.

If you dont allow your Yorkies to interact with small children how will they ever know how to behave around them. They will grow up in fear and being scared of them (kids & babies). That to me seems like a disaster in the making. Yorkies and all dogs should be socialized among all ages of people young and old. As well as other dogs and animals in order to make them less likely to be afraid or react in an aggressive way toward them for fear of the unknown....
