I do think it is just a matter of opinion when some one wants one that small... a reputably breeder who has one that small will educate. When I EVER have one that looks like it could be that small I won't sell to certain situations. As, I don't care if you have 12 kids, I feel if you want a dog you should be able to have one, just can't buy a tiny tiny one from me for your kids... sorry. My daughter has said I have come across very rude over this, but tinies are for adults. They have too many needs... and yes.. they do NOT know their size!
I personally don't see too many tiny breeders who just let them go to just any one. Most will even just keep them if they are unsure of the buyers.

I can honestly say that my "tiny" is safer having my 3 kids ages 6, 4, and 3 around. It really depends on the parents and the kids. Missy can't so much as pick up a piece of fluff off the ground without 3 kids taking it away to make sure she's "safe". We set out rules before Missy came home, and in 7 weeks time not ONE rule has been broken. They even go as far as to inspect her toys and be sure they are still OK for her to have with no tears or holes. They don't stand up while holding her. They don't run or jump around in the house anymore. They make sure all of their toys are picked up. They get it! My children are very well behaved however, and 100% supervised at all times. It really depends on the family I think.
This is all of course just my personal opinion, formed from my own personal experience. I'm not trying to cause a debate. I just really believe that every situation is different and needs to be accessed individually.
