This could be several different reasons:

1. They are concerned about how the puppy will be treated by the children.
Young children are not always aware of the impacts from their actions, as in playing too rough, and not doing all things safely.

2. The puppy may cause an injury to the children.
Puppies are constantly exploring and testing their environment, they may give little "love" bites.

3. They may be concerned about if the dog will get away from the children. Either on walks, or slipping out a door.


When we fostered a great dane, the prospective new family had to complete a questionare, including about children and their ages, and how much child and great dane interaction there will be, both supervised and unsupervised.
