My 23 year old dtr was born when I had Zorro so she was taught very early how to handle dogs, then when I got gracie she was 5 and I took her to the breeders home along with my 5 year old niece and she was impressed on how gentle and well behaved the kids were. She put all 4 puupies in the kitchen and the girls sat on the floor and played so nicely with them. I am a firm believer that if you teach your children to be respectful and gentle then they can have a small dog. |
