Again, this is my practice and I do assess each family or individual. We had a dog when my daughter was growing up but didn't take our dog everywhere we went and with her doing all that she did I'm glad we didn't have but one dog at the time because we couldn't devote all the time that requires with owning a dog. Of course back then I didn't show dogs or raise them just had a sweet pet and miss him dearly but now that my daughter is grown I have the yorkies and love it! I couldn't have done what I'm doing now and raise a child with all she did in school and all the activities. Wouldn't have been fair to the dogs....JMHO
