I agree with the posts here it really depends on the kids and Yorkie. Some kids do great with little dogs and some don't . Small kids are naturally curious around puppies and want to hug them and sometimes squeeze them lol.I have two girls 8 and 13 and a stepson 17. I had tons of lectures before we got the first pup. They knew I meant business. If I caught them playing rough they would be grounded for 2 weeks! It never got to that. They are very gentle with the dogs. Most of the time they are not even interested in the dogs! lol Your kids will probably do great with another pet if you already have a dog and a cat...
