If it was for a girlfriend or a child I would agree that it would not be a good idea but this daughter is wanting to get one for her adult mom that has been wanting a Yorkie. I don't see that as irresponsible.
Your mom might like to pick out her own puppy though. Or she may want to decide for herself if she wants to take on a shelter or rescue dog vs a puppy. Both are things that require some insight and consideration.
It may be fun to hand her a cute little puppy but if that puppy comes from a background that could have health or personality issues the whole thing could backfire. |
