If we can't find a home for her I will take her back. WHY WON"T THEY LISTEN. Or, why don't we listen? Not everyone should own a puppy. Also, not everyone should have kids. The problem is or maybe the solution is, you can re-home a puppy. If you are not competant or willing to put in the time with a dog, then you just find a new home, take it back to the breeder, or fight with the dog forever. If you are an unwilling parent, you find your kid one day in a clock tower with a high powered rifle. I deal with those parents, (kids and dogs) all the time. There is no easy solution for us as breeders. We do the best we can to find the right homes, but the best thing of all is our "gut". If the potential buyer doesn't "feel right" to you, pass. This is not an easy hobby, between our great friends dying, bad hips, elbows, esophagus problems, torsion, weak ears, hips/elbows, missing teeth, temperment, and others, we need to be carefulll with buyers. On the other hand, where can you find this much love with a nine week gestation period? Not that there is anything wrong with that.
