If i was a breeder i dont think i would place with people with small children either! Im sorry but thats JMO like everyone else has stated! I hardly have any of my bf's nieces or nephews come over since i have my yorkies. A small child doesnt understand an animal is like us! they dont see where we all are similar! A child will just grab a animal not knowing that it might hurt it. There is a huge difference between adults and children. For those of you that say that some adults without children are mean to their pups then thats what screening the family is for. You just dont adopt out to anyone. You really have to be cautious of every situation and family!! There are her mardelins dogs and like she said there are plenty of breeders that will adopt to these people if thats the case but she doesnt want to take part in that. I am young and i will get married one day! I dont want kids but if it happens it happens! im glad someone gave me a chance to own my pups but i cants say if i was a breeder that i would do the same. I hope that doesnt sound bad lol!
Now for rehoming im partial on it! I know i would rather a pet be rehomed to a loving family than to suffer. But then there are those situations where the pup did get to big and people rehome and stuff like that and i dont agree with this! I know this is not the case with the OP's friend! She loves her pets dearly and hopefully she will get to keep her pup but if not then all we can do is pray for the pups sake that as owners and dog lovers that she do whatever is best for the pup!
