Are yorkies good with children?
Yorkies can be good with children, but I would not recommend getting a yorkie, or any toy dog, if you have children under 8. Yorkies are small dogs, and children play rough. A yorkie can be seriously hurt or even killed by children playing. If a 30 or 40 pound child falls on a 5 pound yorkie, that yorkie will not survive. If a child playing with the dog, moves suddenly, or grabs for the dog and gets hold of its leg it can break the dogs bones very easily. A lot of breeders will not sell a toy dog to a home with small children. Children do not mean to harm the animal, but accidents do happen.
