I have certain criteria when placing pups, one is not placing a pup in a home where the kids are younger than 12. However, I just recently placed a pup in a home with a single mom and a son that was 8 years old. However, we had several meet and greets. I monitored both closely. The mother and child relationship was wonderful. He listened to everything she said. I think the first thing that made me feel everything would work out was he knew instinctively to leave his shoes at the front door. When he went into the kitchen he immediately layed down flat and let the pups climb all over him. Giggling the whole time while the pups nibbled on his ears and ran on his back.
Not every situation is the same, but we do set rules into place, based on the law of averages. |
Well worded...and exactly what I meant! There are rules, but everything must be weighed. It IS all about the welfare of the pups.
