Thanks for your input!
I have three female yorkies, Rosie 7, Mikki 4, and my new puppy Lily 14 weeks old. Rosie and Lily are social butterflies. Mikki is not aggressive but wants you to leave her alone. She will bark at you and she has even grabbed a pant leg before. But she did have a rough start in life so this could be from that.

As far as with kids, they are fine with kids that visit us. However there are not any small kids who live in my home. My kids are both older so we do not have any issues. I think I would really think hard about a yorkie and future children. Most breeders and rescues do not like the idea of placing one in a home with small children.

Also, to me a Yorkie is more of a "high maintenance" breed than other breeds. Having a small child and a Yorkie will be a lot of work. Not trying to sound negative just wanting to be honest.

Good luck with your decision. It is very wise of you to do your research!
