[quote=Anonymous]How old are the kids? If they’re 3 and 5, I think it would be easy to sneak the puppy in overnight and back out in the morning and have the grandparents watch during the day. If your kids are older, like 7 and 9, it might be good to save the “puppy in a wrapped box under the tree” just idea for cute photos, but bring the kids to the breeder’s. This could be a teachable moment about what a big responsibility this is; you’re making a commitment to care for this dog for the entirety of its life and that’s not something that should be taken lightly. You can include your kids in all the preparations for the puppy. The breeder can explain what the puppy needs from them (how to handle puppy, how their behavior will affect puppy) as well as what to expect in terms of the puppy’s behavior. I think it’s a good lesson that an adorable new puppy is not a toy you just go out and buy and then you play with it when you want to and ignore it when you want a break.[/quote]
