As far as allowing children into your house, I don't about Mary, but Joey's breeder wouldn't even sell to families with children. Joey's breeder just doesn't feel like a yorkie is the best fit for a family with small children. I think the scene you describe is not healthy for the puppies, and I wouldn't allow the children to touch the puppies. Again, it sounds more like you are more interested in selling dogs than you are in finding the best home for the dogs. When a breeder has this type of problem I wonder how many dogs they are breeding each year? |
I wonder if people reading this understand that what you're saying means there would be no pet Yorkies if all breeders did things your way. I have a few litters most years and I love it. It's my hobby but in order to do it I have to sell puppies to pay the expenses of breeding and showing and because I can't keep them all. Never mind, not worth the effort to explain myself here. As always, anyone wanting to know more about me can email or call.
