Taking back dogs..........I have only bred 4 or 5 litters in about 15 years. I used to make people sign a contract and agree to contact me if there was any kind of problems. Take a guess how many people called me........ONE after the dog was about a year and a half old, had already bit the son in the face causing the need for stitches. I met with the people, dog seemed fine........I was sitting on my haunches talking to the owner with a "cookie" in my outstretched hand. Not even looking at dog so no threat...........The dog tried to take my face off. I could not take that dog back and put it in my kennel, I had a grandson and many neighbor kids here. *The risk to others outweighed all else*. I told the people to put the dog dowm at their expense. I have since change my ideas of what these dogs need or not, before they have the right to be bred and yes it is a "right" not just something to recoup losses. Sorry but life gets in the way sometimes. I have a six run kennel and can take back any dog that I have ever bred and would do so, unless there is a risk to humans.
