The best thing is that this little boy is in your possession......
One of the responsibilities of breeding is taking pups back that are not in the best environment and are unhappy. I don't think that family or friends have a corner on being irresponsible pet owners......I just think that people don't get the whole picture on the responsibility of owning a pet. All 12 week old pups are cute, everything the do is cute. Unfortunately, people don't understand that these pups grow up, some make grow up not so cute, a bit too big, etc. So, education falls on us and of course the vetting process.
