We fell in love with a puppy there last night but they said she wouldn't be good with kids under 6.

How do they know that?

Possibly by the breed or by the home it was rescued from.

What breed was the dog?

My brother adopted a dog from NSAL, and the sign also said not good with children under 12 I think. When they took him out, he seemed awsome, my brother adopted him, and he is just great with my two neices(age 6 months and 2 1/2), a perfect gentleman.

I think because when a dog is younger, they worry about jumping on kids and etc..Howver, be careful because just maybe the sign is there for a good reason. I think overall, many shelters do not like adopting to homes with very small children, so this is a tactic to avoid it.

How old is the puppy ??

They might be going by what they think the breed is.

They usally try to avoid any future problems.

If you really like the Puppy I would find as much as you can about where they got him from and what kind of behavior he's been showing.

Whatch out about what kind of breed they tell you too. My girlfriend got a pup and they told her she was a jack russel begle mix the dog is 75 pounds I never seen a 75 pounds.

They usually do tempermant testing on them before adopting them out. Like using fake hands to touch the food/them while they eat, seeing how they are with dolls and high pitched sounds.
