Yes. She knows EVERYTHING about me. She asked how they were with the puppies and she wants me to bring the kids along when we look at them puppies. I got my female at 8 weeks and 1 pound 2 ounces. I got my male at 11 weeks and 1 pound 13 ounces. So we have had some tiny expeiriences BUT they all got a little bigger. I think kids that are already around small dogs mostly know how to act around and with them, they know by now what is a "no no" and what I permit. One more that is 2 pounds less than my biggest will not make a difference with them. I definatley understand the concern and would agree completely had they not already been exposed to the small side of the breed. I DO NOT think tinies should be placed with inexpeirienced homes or homes in which the caretakers can't have watch at all times to ensure the rules are followed. The breeder want to verify my words and the only way is to watch them interact. (the kids and dogs) I ALSO want to make sure if we do decide to purchase one, that my other dogs will get along with him/her. I don't want them fighting and increasing chances of injury. I am pretty much a veteren of the buying aspect now and know what to expect from a reputable and trustworthy breeder and if I smell fire --I RUN! Thanks for all the input. I don't take offense to comments. I came here asking FOR your opinions. I appreciate them. =)
HOWEVER, when people get mad about the teacup term being used and the higher price being a scheme. I do not agree. It works with Lexus, it works with Tom Cruise, It works with Orange County property, what makes it NOT ok with dogs? If I produce a smaller york in the lines I begin to breed, you better bet your buttons I will make at least $3000 from it. If not keep it and relish the fact that I produced it. When these tinies are bred if infuriates me, when a rondom is thrown from a stardard pair, market and sell. It was just luck of the process as are the larger ones. |
