I think a lot of this talk is for shelters to protect their butts if something ever happen. With a yorkie being so small there a larger chance of an accident happening. A larger dog can take more then maybe a small yorkie but still. Some shelters make me feel like its not fair. If the dog doesnt like children then thats fine but just because its small shouldnt mean that families with small children shouldnt be able to adopt. Kinda having this issue right now. I'd rather have a small dog. I tried a medium size dog and it would jump all over my daughter and knock her down. She'll be 4 August 1st. I had my yorkie from 98- up till she went missing in oct 2006. Never a problem. They played together she loved her snickers. Smaller dogs little children can help walk. We were worried when we bought my daughter home from the hospital but I guess I raised my yorkie well. She kinda freaked out at first with the new smells but we let her see the baby and still be important to us. My yorkie used to sleep with us. I don't believe small children and yorkies are bad for each other. Just need to raise your kids and your dog up to be good. Sometimes taking it slow and giving the dog some time helps. I had the best of both worlds.. I have my wonderful daughter and I had my perfect yorkie. Because of my experience with my yorkie I won't go with another breed. It was such a good experience..
