Enough said. |
I got my first yorkie when my son was a few weeks shy of his 3rd birthday, and my daughter had just turned 5yrs old. My breeder (who had young kids of her own) required meeting the kids in her home before even considering placement....and it was no 20 minute visit where you might be able to keep your kids behaving with their best manners, but rather a 3 hour long afternoon visit. She saw how my kids were on first impression and how they were a hour or so later and my youngest how he was when he was starting to get tired and cranky. It wasn't just a case of whether I wanted one of her pups, but was also whether she wanted one of her pups raised as a member of my family.
