While most breeders don't place yorkies in the home with children under certain ages. Statistically it isn't an ideal situation. But, breeders are very aware that every situation is different and will take every situation on a case by case basis. The breeder more than likely would want to meet your family to watch how they interact with each other as well as with the puppy.
That being said, and based on what you have stated, you are well aware of the responsibilities. So, with proper training and diligent supervision, the children can be taught how to handle and behave around a toy dog. The key is to never allow unsupervised interaction with the pup. A pup can be dropped, fought over and pulled at, both resulting in the pups injury or worse death......
Good Luck in finding that wonderful breeder to help you with your new addition.
