I think a home with five kids is great! A puppy with lots of play drive and
energy will always
have attention and time with someone giving them attention.
We raised our dogs with our own four children....and half the time we had two
to four more kids
at the house visiting our children. The dogs were great with kids and adored
our kids and the
kids loved sharing their life with the pups and dogs that were a part of our
family.
I personally love placing pet puppies with families with active kids. It's
great for the kids and
great for the puppy in my opinion. I just encourage the parents to teach the
kids to also help
train the pup and be responsible....and to raise and train the pup to obey the
kids and respect
them as much as we want the kids to care about and respect the puppy.

My reaction to the 5 children was that, especially if the children are younger,
one of the parents is more likely to be a "stay-at-home" parent since child
care would be prohibitive for 5 children!!! Thus a puppy might have a
wonderful life since it would not be relegated to a crate or a kennel for 8
hours a day.
And, in a normal 5 child household, there might be other children constantly
coming in the house and yard to play -- great socialization! And the puppy
buyers could be encouraged to take the puppy to outside sporting events, to
pick up the children at school, etc., etc. -- more great socialization!
I admit that this might not be the case, but I had four children and several
pet GSD's while the children were growing up and that was the life for my dogs.

I suppose I might have an opposite reaction. Large families are usually more
family focused. The entire social shift from the large rural family to the new
small family is a shift away from a relational interdependence to a more modern
independence. I would personally rather see my puppy in a large family than a
small one. In this climate it might get a great deal of attention and training.
Just my thoughts, Dave

One of my many questions would be, is each member of the family willing to give
the time and patience required to bond, train, and supervise a puppy or will
everyone have an excuse that they are too busy leaving one person to care for
and train the puppy. They will now have SIX children instead of FIVE!

I received a request for another male GSD puppy. This is for a pet home near
Middletown, NY.
This gal lives with her husband and 5 children. She is willing to pay up to
$1000.00.
Private replies to me will be forwarded on.
Thank you,
