Please those days of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER are not real and we all know this. Kids have accidents and that is real. When I sold Lolas first litter I would not sell to anyone with kids under 12. Im sorry but I am an experienced mother and did not want anthing to happen to my furbabbies. Now, every now and then you will find a very responsible younger child that will really take good care of the pup. I think the worst thing about the media is Britney Spears, Paris Hilton. They have made these young children and teens think these little gods creatures are nothing but toys. This is an accident waiting to happen. Im not being mean please dont take it that way and Im glad you have resposible small children but many do not. I did but my girls are atheltic and sometimes are not watching their surroundings...These are fragile little guys that can go down fast. Good luck to you and please dont take my venting wrong...LRod |
I won't take your venting wrong--but even adults can step on the puppy or drop them or drop a cup on their head. I am not saying I watch my kids every second(or that I have a Leave it to Beaver family). I understand where you're coming from--you are responsible and want your fur-babies to go the best/safest home possible. I just think it's sad to count out every family that has children under 12--every family should have the opportunity to research and have the breed of their choice, whether it's a St. Bernard, poodle, yorkie, chihuahua, whatever--as long as they put the time and effort into researching and are willing to go the extra mile to have the breed they want. I guess this is a touchy subject for me because I do have children under 12 and I would have been very disappointed had my boss said--too bad you have little kids so you can't have these pups. This will have to be a subject where I will agree to disagree rather then argue about it.
