We really love this dog, but I'm just so worried that my toddler would do something to really hurt or injury him. Does anyone have any advice on how to introduce a Yorkie into a new home with toddlers? What are some tips for getting them to coexist peacefully?

Your 2 year old tried to kick and beat up the dog while at the breeders house? I am of the opinion you don't need to have a puppy this fragile in your home.
Please try and teach the child respect for animals.
