You of cource are entitled to your opinion and there are always exceptions to the rule in every breed, but that does not mean ALL pekes are good with children. Some pekes if purchased as a wee baby and of excellent temperment and raised with small children and trained by parents that know the breed and teach the children as well as the puppy to get along can be raised together......BUT.... those are far and few between, if the new owners have no idea how to dicipline their puppies or children then a problem arises, there are more children getting bitten by this breed than there are NOT. So breeders would rather warn people about the incompatibility and save a child from getting bitten than not tell them and have a mean biting peke.

I have been a breeder for 32 years and I breed for excellent temperment, I also have 5 grandaughters of various ages, "some" of my pekes will tolerate some of the grandaughters, others they won't.

I have 3 human

>somewhere else if they are playing loudly nearby.

And this is the first sign that the peke would rather not be around the children, YOU may understand this but many others would not recognize this as the first signal, so they do not teach the children to leave that peke alone, then the child gets bitten.

I am very glad to hear your children get along with pekes, but you also sound like you have trained both your children and the pekes to tolerate each others, congradulations on that.
But to the new owners of this breed that know nothing about training children to be around this breed there will be a very high percentage of problems.
