But you have to consider some things like how much time and devotion you want to give to training. Are you home during the day? My little one was really easy to house break but I have heard that some people have a hard time with it. I guess if you have never had a small dog you have some leaning to do.
Is the dog going to be yours or your daughters? One thing about kids is that they love puppies but rarely are around when the rubber meets the road. Kids have school and activities and friends and moms and dads are the ones who get the real work in having a dog. So though your daughter may like the female it's going to basically be your dog in the end. She will love the male when you get him home. He is adorable and his ears are already up. It doesn't sound like you really want two dogs so get the one you want. |
Yes I am home all day everyday so I definitely have the time to train both. We plan on surprising my daughter with the puppy/puppies but by no means do we plan on her being responsible for them. She is not old enough just yet. We just want her to grow up with a dog because she LOVES my mom and sister's yorkies and so do we. We always spend weeks at a time at my parent's house and when we come back home to no yorkies my daughter and I are both sad! We are SO excited!
