I do understand the breeders point of view. In fact I make sure that when any kids are around they dont rough house with my shepherd because I am careful about his hips. Especially since my breeder wants to breed him with one of hers. I guess I understand a lil bit better, but I do agree it would be better to be judged on an individual basis. I know how clumsy children can be, that is why my yorkie's bed would be in my room(kids know my room is off limits). We also have our own loan office and soon to be real estate office so my puppy would be with me with pretty much at all times. Heck I dont even take my kids to the office lol. I guess I was just letting off some steam cause some of the breeders I would like go through have that in thier contract. I am sorry if i offended anyone that was not my intention. I actually had one breeder say they didnt mind the bigger dog but because of the younger kids she was not comfortable. I am always honest with any breeder I have spoken to about myself and my family. I dont think I need to lie to show that I am a responsible pet owner especially when I have vet and trainer references. sorry for the long post. |
