I def wasn't saying kendra was less of a moral dog owner for buying a hybrid/mix, just wondering about the breeder. But from what's been said I say DO IT! I would say once Mack is better as well, mind you if you can deal with a baby pup and a sick pup then more power to you! I know I couldn't! If your son is set on that pup and everyone else in the family has their own dog per say and you think he can take care of it then def go for it. In fact the best thing for a kid is responsibilities so why not give him one that he can love and loved in return
plus look at the amazing collection of colors you have going on haha I just love it!
