I'm a single dad and honestly not a big fan of little dogs...But also, i'm a single dad with a 9yr old daughter...so i'm willing to compromise, i've had plenty of tea parties and played with lots of dolls. That's why i'm looking at this mix. I wouldn't get a Yorkie.....But, if i can TELL people its a Yorkweiler...that's something that can make both of us happy! |
So I am confused....if you dont want a Yorkie, and want a large dog, get a large dog! Get a Beagle....get a rat terrier....get a cocker spaniel...get any mid size dog!! Dont like shedding? Get her a toy poodle, that is a midsize dog that does not shed....or if you want a larger dog, get her a standard poodle....or get a labrador, or german shepherd....there are thousands of dogs out there, ESPECIALLY in rescue centers or the pound....go look for you a dog there....you are getting a mix breed if you want one, you can talk to people that can tell you how large that dog may get......when dealing with mixes, you never know for certain how large a dog you may end up with.....
You dont care for small dogs and a nine year old child is not really equipped to deal with the stubborness and difficulties a Yorkie's personality may present....they are hard to house train and it takes enormous patience and determination and diligence.....I am not sure this dog is anything you want......and it is not fair to get the dog and then get discouraged and frustrated and rehoming it again.....
You need to get VERY familiar with personalities of any breed you are considering getting....you and a child are going to have to deal with this pet's personality traits....I know next to nothing about Rotties but I know they need a firm hand and firm control and training....not really recommended for an inexperienced dog owner or a child....and the very worse thing you can do is take a child to look at a puppy....you will be leaving there with that dog and I can almost promise it will be a major mistake.
