My breeder also will not sell any of her puppies to anyone with small children..She is just scared that something will happen to the puppy unintentionally especially if this puppy going to a home where there has never been a yorkie in the home.I always am asked by my friends young children can they hold Nathan and I politely tell them no but that they can sit on the rug and play with him but not pick him up..My grandson isn't even allowed to pick Nathan up and he is 4 yrs old and realizes Nathan wiggles alot and could get hurt if he fell..
A coworker took his 2 sons age 6 and 8 to a realtors office who had just gotten a yorkie puppy and the realtor specifically ask the boys not to pick the puppy up....and low and behold they did it and the puppy fell breaking his leg!! So accidents do happen and I think Breeders just take that extra precaution...
