This lady is worried her Dobbie will kill him, she isnt charging a penny for him.
Now I have been thinking of this little guy, there are many back yard breeders and puppy mills that would snatch this guy up in a min. I would hate to see that happen just because I dont know anything about male dogs.
My girls were spaeded (fixed) at the age of six months so there is no fear of babies. My guestion is, if he is nurtured now will this stop him from wanting to hump the girls? Another thing is will he come in and lift his leg to mark everything in the house. He is supposely housetrained.
I just dont know what to do. I can see all these awful places he can end up. Flea market, family with six little kids, (he is only 5 lbs) put in a cage for the rest of his life . 
Should I take him? Or let him take his chances? My neice said I have first choice, and she will keep him till I get back in a week, |
Take this poor baby...you will figure it all out...its not so different. These pups will most certainly accept him, hesitatingly but eventually they will all adjust. In due time you'll wonder how you ever lived without him. You might want to take him directly to the vet and have him neutered before you bring him home? I don't know if that would be too traumatic for him...now that I think about it. But rescues etc., do spay/neuter them first so you might want to think about that, I reckon that taking care of him after a neuter will also help bonding? Just random thoughts here.
The worst case scenario YOU hand him over to a rescue? I would give it a try, we will be here to help you along the way...
