My husband and I want to buy a little puppy and I love Yorkie puppies. We are planning on having children within one or two years. I have heard that Yorkie puppies are not good with little children and I worry about that. Is this true or does it just depend on the houshold?

Just think about it......you buy a puppy that you cuddle and baby and spoil for 2 years. All of a sudden a baby comes into the house and Fido has competition. In any breed of dog that could create problems.

It depends on the childs upbringing with any small dog. I have a 9 month old son, and my family lives in an apartment. So we have to get a small dog once we get one next month. I have a very wild and destructive little brother whom I'm sure will get bitten. But none the less, this puppy is for my son. If the child is raised with dogs, and the dog and child is disciplined, then the child knows how to handle the dog nd be careful. If the dog is allowed to hurt the child and vice versa, then a dog is not applicable to your household situation.
