Lindsey,
I was reading your past posts and read that you have a young child. And in reading this I read other's made mention of reluctance of breeders placing a pup in a family with young children. I will say I am one of those breeders, but with a caviat.
Last year I had a mother and son family contact me for a pup. My initial instinct was to say no. What I did do is ask her to come visit and bring her son for the initial meet and greet. When they arrived and what I witnessed over the hour they spent with me and the pups, taught me a new lesson. When mother and son entered the house, the son removed his shoes without being asked, so did his mother. I then led them to the area where the pups could be viewed and interacted with. Without being asked the boy immediately sat on the floor and flattened himself out so the pups could climb all over him. He went into a fit of giggles, handling the pups ever so gently. At one point one of the pups grabbed on and nipped him. He never screamed or yelled, just looked at his mom and asked her to get the pup loose. The came back for several visits and needless to say I let one of my pups go home with him.
Every breeder has a set of rules to insure their pups go to the best possible homes. But, each set of circumstances is unique in itself. If I had of held fast and firm to my rules, little Jedi (the young boy is a Star War's fan) would have missed out on the perfect home, where he is smothered with love and given the best possible care.
