For all of you that disagree with me or thought what I said was mean, sorry, but for me it's all about the puppy. Please go back and read her post again. The pup is in the x-pen all day, there are times when she's too tired to play with her or walk her. She doesn't have time to potty train. They go to obedience class once a week but don't practice what they learned. Come on people!! Doesn't the puppy deserve better. I'm sure she is a great person, I'm not questioning that. I'm also sure she loves her puppy, otherwise, she wouldn't be asking for help here. I just could never understand why ALL YOU PEOPLE that work full time have puppies that you keep penned up all day just so YOU have something to entertain yourself with when you get home. Seems a little selfish and unfair to the pets...

Call us selfish, but you are extremely rude. YES this is the hardest decision I am making. If I were being selfish, then I would keep my baby without another thought. I do agree that my puppy deserves a better life than I can provide at this particular point but that DOES NOT MEAN I am not giving my puppy a good life at all. YES I am
trying in potty training him. Don't you think the reason he is in the ex pen with his potty pads is so that his potty training remains consistent? And why would I spend the time and money at an obedience class if the situation was so horrible that he wasn't able to learn ANYTHING at all. I said I don't practice with him
as much as I should, not that I don't practice with him at ALL. Unfortunately some people don't have the luxury to stay at home all day with their pets but that does not make them any less of a loving pet owner than you. If I am tired at the end of the day, excuse me- I am a full time college student and work at a daycare caring for eight infants under twelve months at a time- so yes, it is tiring. MY GOD, I came here looking for support and am thankful for those who have offered it. But I cannot stand those on this website such as yourself who
preach and believe it is their way or the highway.
All digression aside, I have discussed this with my breeder and she has offered to take him back. I'm still debating this every minute because I would prefer to choose the family myself if rehoming is what I decide. The adoption fee has nothing to do with wanting money for HIM, just that I would give the new owner all of his toys, crate, x-pen, food, treats, hygiene products, leashes, collar, etc etc etc. There are also foster programs I am looking into that can take the puppies until my situation changes and have more time to devote. A rescue program isn't something I'm interested in for my own reasons, but I'm glad most of you are supportive and I really really thank you for that. Thank you for respecting how hard this decision is and how much I do love my baby. I doubt I will come back to this thread because negativity from those who are offering it is only upsetting me further, but if you can help at all I appreciate the PMs. Happy 4th.
