I think getting a yorkie with a silkie coat versus a cottony coat would also reduce your chances of having a allergic reaction to them.
Before purchasing a puppy please realize that it is a big commitment. Potty training can be challenging. I don't know your work situation but personally I don't recommend yorkie pups for people that work full time and are not able to at least check on the pup during the day. I do wish you the best of luck in your search for the perfect fur baby. |
With the above advice, I'd also like to add that since you have young kids, please be sure to "train" them as well on how to handle a small breed. Being so small, they can be fragile.
