A VERY bad idea. As a child, I was given a few pets for Christmas, and let's just say they never ended well... one reason I am almost always against giving animals as a gift. There are very few circumstances where a puppy as a gift works out well... Even if you know the person wants a puppy, it is best to allow them to pick the puppy out themselves. So many animals end up listed in the newspaper, rehomed, and taken to the shelter in the first few months after Christmas
