I agree and disagree with you. It's not so much that "small kiddies and tiny delicate yorkie puppies" don't mix as much as it is irresponsible parents and Yorkies puppies don't mix. I have 2 toddlers, one of which is also an active 2 year old boy. Not once has Livi been hurt by my children!!! I do not ever leave her unsupervised around them and they are not allowed to pick her up or to run even slightly close to her. I have a constant eye on them when they are petting her. When I am too busy to watch them with her, I put her in the Master Bathroom and my kids know to leave her until I go back and get her. I undertsand why some breeders will not sell to people with young children, but thank goodness my breeder looks at each buyer as individuals or we wouldn't have Livi. I have taught my children how fragile she is, even though she likes to play with them...my children respect this and are gentle with her.
