HI and welcome to YT. My yorkie is 5 months old. I have two boys. The youngest is 8 and a niece that is over all the time and she is 1 1/2. Kids are at my house ALL the time. I also have a shepherd mix (60 lbs) and a Savannah cat. My Yorkie is GREAT with all kids, all people and all dogs/animals. The only issue I do have is potty training him. He is stubborn. He rarely barks and does not bite. I got him at 12 weeks old and socialized him from day one. I will take him for walks on a path that always has people jogging, biking and walking dogs. I also take him to a dog park where there are all different breeds of dogs. HE is fine. I am a firm believer (especially with this breed) to get one when they are just a puppy and socialize him/her right away. Try to get the puppy used to kids and other dogs at all times. When feeding him/her put your hands in the food so they dont become food aggressive. I have people come over all the time and pick up and carry my little guy. I have had nothing but a wonderful experience with my lil fella. Oh and by the way, he loves his crate. He sleeps in there all night. From 9 to 8 in the morning. He will go all night w/o a potty break. Good luck and keep us posted on your decision. I hopy my reply/comments helped
