I am sure that you will be able to find a good reputable breeder that is willing to meet you and your kids and trust you with a puppy. They are out there. |
No offense Amy. I am not trying to start an argument but don't you think that is a little hypocritical that you wanted a breeder to sell you a dog with a child but yet you wouldn't want to place a puppy with a family with kids?
My children are 7 and 10 and my 3 lb Yorkie loves and adores them. I wrote this many times on the forum. She has the greatest disposition of any dog that I have seen. A very loving dog and she is small but again she gets along with my kids. I had my two younger children with me when I picked up Niyah and she asked my kids if they wanted to hold her and she saw my kids were good with them and that is what all breeders should do.
So what if it didn't work out with the family with kids. At least the family called the breeder and asked her take the dog back. The family didn't have to do that but they were honest and this should not deter a breeder from selling another pup to a family.
Sorry but I am very outspoken when it comes to things not being fair. It should not be a one way street.
I don't expect you to resond to my post in a positive way and I am sure many that are reading my post right now would never think of selling a 3 lb dog to a family with children. Again not fair when a breeder was willing to sell them a dog with children to them.
