I am going to weigh in on this topic. As a breeder I take each potential buyer into consideration. If they have other dogs I ask that they bring the dog with them when they come to look at the pups if they have already decided they want one. I also ask that anyone that will be around the pup in the home come also. So far I have been very lucky with the homes my pups have gone to. But if I had one person bring their child and I didn't feel it would be a good fit for any pup of mine I simply would tell them. As a Breeder I don't have to sell my dogs to anyone if I don't want to regardless of my reasons. Those pups are first and foremost my responsibility for the rest of their lives. If i have to hang onto them until I find the right homes then that is what I do. I think that regardless of how well behaved a child is there are also children that aren't as well behaved and accidents will happen. So even if the child or children are well behaved you also need to look at the adults , How would they react in an emergency situation. I recall some pups getting hurt on here at the hands of an adult accidentally and otherwise. However I will not sell a puppy to anyone that has a child under 6 years of age, That is my decision and I am sure everyone has their own deciding age that they will sell a pup to with children in the home.
