We only have to look at our own forums to see dogs broken & injured with adult supervison.

I would have put either of my kids juggling footballs (soccer) or on hockey skates, at two years of age, up against an average adult to see who had "good coordination". There are a heckuva lot of uncoordinated, clumsy adults out there. Go to your local nightclub any weekend and look at what's out on the dance floor!

Me too! And who is anybody here to say who should or shouldn't be part of somebody's family. That's a choice we each make for ourselves.
I got my own first yorkie when my kids were 5 & 3 from a local second generation yorkie breeder who had an infant & toddler of her own!
