Yorkie? I got mine as I cant walk very far as I have a bad back and fibromyalgia. My husband can walk him though, and we have a long enclosed garden so he does get exercise. He is fine with our 4 children. He needs brushing though, but doesnt moult. I had a Jack Russell and he was a lovely dog but did need a fair bit of exercise. However, my mum and dad (aged 76 and 84) dog sit for a Jack Russell and they get on fine with him. His owner is elderly too. They do tend to put white hairs EVERYWHERE though, drive you mad, and can be a bit snappy.
