Of course you have every right to deny any person (married, not married, with kids) one of your puppies but setting a precedent of never allowing kids under 10 to have one is a little harsh in my opinion. And that opinion only stems from my knowledge of my own kids and their ability to handle a small dog correctly. You can deny a family with children from purchasing one of your pups but it could be that same family has nephews or neices that visit frequently that you personally would not approve of. What then?
It has nothing to do with their ability in raising a yorkie. It has to do with their future plans on having a family. I've seen to many yorkies end up in rescue after a young couple begins having children. It's my practice. But, as I stated before I fully assess a family prior to placing a puppy. I'm pretty stringent on my practices. But, as my vet says; it's probably easier finding a cure for cancer than obtaining a puppy from me.
