I met this lady through work and we have worked on several projects together and I have met her two boys (7 and 10). They are great kids, but really not nice to animals. I was finally able to show her my yorkie right before finals time and she was instantly in love and wanted one. I told her that I would let my breeder know she was interested. I did what I said and my breeder left me a message today saying that she wanted to ask me a few questions because she had young boys and wanted to know if I knew anything.

I don't want to bad mouth her kids. They are great boys with people, but even she admits that they are rough with animals. She is really specific about it being under 5lbs too, which just leads me to worry about the yorkie. I did tell her about yorkies being fragile and she just said that dogs can take a lot more than we give them credit. Which I guess is true. I have just seen first hand and heard stories about her boys and I don't know what I should tell my breeder.

Any advice would be appreciated.
