While these are all very valid points, I think the main concern we all had initially was the two year old kicked the dog, and the breeder still wants to sell a puppy to the family. To me, that puts a red flag. If I were the breeder, I would be very protective of my pups and very selective of who got them, similar to who I would place my fosters with. If you have a two year old, one that kicks or not, I would not place one with you. In fact, that family wouldn't have even met my pups, I would have asked about young children over the phone first.
