Fully understand, as I said your kids must be your priority. And I have seen the other side of rescue too - where people will lie through their back teeth about a dog just so you will take it when in reality the best thing for the dog and everyone else involved would be for them to do right by it and have it PTS. With regard to child age limits at rescues I would guess in our compensation culture world all rescues are very careful as to placement of older dogs. I think some rescues do place puppies with families with young children so that the kids can be fully involved in the training of the pup and also being trained themselves!!
