People wonder why a lot of rescues and some breeders don't like to sell to people who small children. This is why.

Just like you have to teach kids what's acceptable when playing with a baby brother or sister, you have to teach them how to play with a dog, regardless of the dog's size. I'm due in June, and I'm already planning how I'm going to introduce Winnie to the new baby (I know at first I'll have to teach Winnie what's ok and what's not with the baby) and how I'm going to slowly show the baby how to interact with Winnie. Parents need to take responsibility for their kids' (and pets') behavior. If you can't keep one safe from the other, then maybe you shouldn't have either.

I do NOT blame the child. I blame the PARENTS!! I would NEVER allow my children to handle a dog, let alone a PUPPY, that way!

But how can the child be expected to know the proper way to handle a puppy unless his parents TEACH HIM?

Poor puppies. I cringed during that video.

I kept imagining that puppies spine snapping.

I agree my kids were 4 and 2 when I brought our two yorkie pups home... they were only allowed to have them sit in their lap and pet them softly. No one was allowed to pick them up and I never left them unattended. It really is too bad because that is why breeders freak out about Yorkies with small children... I had to search for a while before one would trust me. No thanks to parents just like her

Ditto, I could not watch either. That was just to much to bare. What kind of Breeder would allow their kids to handle these pups like this? Unbelievable!!!

Your telling me!

That's another thing that shocked me...that whoever was filming did not STOP and take the puppy away from that little boy! Whoever this breeder is must be CRAZY to post a video like this for all the world to see - who on earth is going to want to buy from her KNOWING the way she allows her puppies to be treated. Makes you wonder about alot of other things, ya know?

MissLola · 02-15-2007, 04:04 PM

It is definitely the parents' fault for not teaching that kid how to handle small animals. My daughter is 2 1/2 and knows very well that she can't be rough to animals. In fact, she knows that our little dogs are completely off limits, unless she's sitting down by them petting them. No picking them up whatsoever.

I hope that my comments to her weren't too harsh!

I just went and read your comment and you were right on the money! Someone NEEDS to tell her - she needs to WAKE UP!!!

Flipping the puppy around like that and grabbing it with both hands by it's neck is NOT how you should be teaching your kids to handle a tiny little puppy!

But that's the problem...she isn't TEACHING him anything AT ALL!

I say, GOOD FOR YOU girl!!! You TELL 'EM!!!!
