I cannot answer the part about housebreaking, as I got my Yorkie when she was 3.
Sadie loves to sleep at the foot of my bed, and yes, she loves children. In fact, when she sees/hears children outside playing, she will run over to them if she is not on a leash, and she wags her tail a mile a minute.
If you get a Yorkie, it will be the only dog you ever want.
Good luck.

QUOTE=Carey & Audrey]Greetings all! Our 9 year old daughter would like to get a Yorkie. She is an active, extremely intelligent girl! My wife and I manage a large apartment complex, and we live above the office. We have plenty of room, and the flexibility to be able to take the little one out several times a day. Some of our questions are: Will Yorkies tolerate, and bond with children, do they like to sleep in bed, are they easily housebroken? We would also welcome any pro's or con's that anyone may have that we have not thought of.
Thanks for your help!
