You need to decide how well behaved your children are and your ability to control the situation. A tiny puppy can be in danger around kids that are unattended and are known to run and jump and rough house a lot. Are you or your wife there to supervise at all times? Do you teach your children to be kind and gentle? That is something you need to consider and yes, it should have been thought about at time of purchase.
Pet store people will say anything to make a sale. They care noting about the outcome. Pet store puppies are from puppy mills although they will often deny it. Many of these puppies will have health issues as they grow older, many will not look exactly like a purebred dog would be expected to look. You need to decide and either re home the puppy or make a commitment to giving the puppy the most loving and safest home possible. If you don't feel you can do that then find a good quiet and kind person to give the puppy a fighting chance. |
