[QUOTE=bjh;2477383]I also prefer not to place my puppies in homes with toddlers but I do make exceptions. If the prospective buyer has had small dogs before and is knowledgeable about how to care for them then I will make an exception. If someone calls that wants to buy a puppy for their 3 year old child and they have never owned a small house dog then I say no. You also have to consider the age and the size of the puppy. I think the bigger yorkies fair much better around children than the small ones that will be under 5 lbs grown.
I also have a problem selling a puppy to someone that works all day and the puppy would be left alone for 8 to 10 hours. If a person works but can come home at lunch or have a spouse come home during the day to check on the puppy then I have no problem with that. QUOTE]
The biggest problem is getting prospective buyers to be completely honest with their home situations. Many prospective buyers just tell you what they think you want to ear.[/
would you consider asking the buyer if you could meet at their house? just curious... |
