I would however take the utmost responsibility to find that dog a WONDERFUL home that will ALSO treat him like a pet and a stud, not a place where he will live in a kennel-like situation. You don't need his placment to a place where he is just a stud on your shoulders, animals have feelings too (as I am sure you are aware of)
Have you thought about keeping him and offering the stud service from him? You said he is all tested etc. And you could always stay in control of his surroundings that way. |
That is exactly right, I did not sign anything in a contract which states I must place the dog in a pet home if anything should ever happen. Just to be clear, this is not an "unwanted stud" that I would place just anywhere (not that you implied that), but rather, one that would be very carefully placed.
I have had several PMs on the breed of the dog, I don't feel that it would be too much information to give that. He is a maltese. I hope it's ok that I posted here, I read many threads here and value your opinions. I am a yorkshire parent as well, this was my first Maltese.
