I waited almost 2 years to get another puppy, and I rarely even leave my small girl alone with DH, maybe I don't trust other people very well Most potential buyers do not get on YT and read and learn and hear all the horror stories, like we have. I had to earn the trust of the breeders that I bought Maddie and Rocky from. We talked for Months via email. I already owned Copper at this time and had raised my daughter with him, Copper's breeder didn't care so much and wasn't what I would call reputable, she just wanted to sell puppies. I have learned so much from him

I am not offened by your post these are just my opinions and should only be taken as such. All I am saying is I know that some small kids can be watched and learn how to be appropriate with kids, but still, they shouldn't be left alone together. If I were a breeder and put my time, sweat, and tears into a breed, I too would be very cautious as to where I placed my puppies and it would be a rare occurance for me to place a smaller one in a home with young kids
I hope since you feel this way that no breeder will adopt you another Yorkie knowing that you have small children. Maybe they will tell you they don't trust you even though you already have small children.

Like I said, I have a tiny Yorkie (3 lbs) and my kids play with her all the time. She loves them. Even the 2 neighbor girls come over and there are never any problems. I supervise the two girls but with my kids, no need to. You need to not be such a hypocrite.
