You also mentioned the above......and of course you mentioned something about rescue not placing dogs in homes with children, I don't either.......the above is one of the reasons why. |
I don't place with small children either and I believe if you breed you shouldn't have small children. Breeding and having young children in my opinion does NOT go hand in hand. Raising children is a full time job with extra activities going on you don't have time to raise litters. Kids should always come before raising puppies IMHO....raise your kids first and then if you want to breed for the betterment of the breed wait till the children are grown!!!
