I think it's a very difficult decision you have to make. I hope the sharing of opinions here, however they came across, can help to aid you in that process of making this tough choice.

I think, in an online forum, it's so easily to misinterpret the words we read, because we can't hear them in the expression and tone they are made.
My mother used to say, "it's not what you say, it's how you say it." Unfortunately, in this online setting, we can only read what is said, but are not able to hear how things are said, which leads them to be read and interpreted in so many ways, in so many minds.
And of course, you will personally be extra sensitive to what is said in this thread, because it is about you and your dog. But, when I read it, honest to goodness, I was surprised that everyone was so kind and understanding! I have seen so many threads (usually ones on breeding and breeding accidents) get very heated and I was pleasantly surprised that this thread was not like that. So, I hope you are able to recognize that all of these people who reached out to you did so as pet owners/breeders and animal lovers, just as you are. They want to support other owners and they also want to see the best thing for the dog. There is so much love for these little dogs here, you know?
