We got our Lou Lou from a family that said they couldn't handle a puppy right now!! She was 4 1/2 month when we took her. I think they didn't do their research on the breed and didn't relieze she is very high energy and if you don't excersie her she will be bored and naughty! They claimed she didn't do well with their kids, 1 1/2 and 5 years old.(jumpy, duh she is a puppy and needs to be taught what to do) Well, I have a 6 and 11 year old and I do daycare for 1 through 12 years, no problems here with alittle obedience training and daily excersise. Oh then I find out they got another puppy about a month ago that is the same age as Lou Lou, and now she is pregant again, so good luck new puppy! Some people should never have the joy of owning an animal!
