HI! I have four boys 7-15
We had a maltese for 17 years and when she passed, we waited 2.5 years and got our little girl Ella. She is absolutely the light of our lives. My boys do baby her but we did train her, as well. She is a total joy ! She actually is small compared to our maltese but she loves fetching as much as she loves snuggling. We are used to tiny animals bc we also ave a bunny. Small breeds are definitely fragile though. If your boys aren't used to having tiny pets, then I would suggest the biggest yorkie you can find. If you have any questions, please ask here or pm me.
