The people who choose to surrender for problems that can be solved with training and patience don't need a pet anyway imo...our dog had a nipping problem a week or two after we had her but surrendering her was not an option. We(me since my husband was deployed) just had to stay on top of it and any other unsatisfactory behaviors. Unfortunately some people don't treat their pets as members of the family....would they give up on their child because of a few potty training accidents or behavior issues? I know and understand why breeders are hesitant about placing such small animals in someone's care especially if they have children. These puppies are their fur babies and if you've had one or a human baby you'd get it too
. I'm just very thankful that there are individuals like you LJ who look at the whole picture instead of just saying "NO!" as soon as it's mentioned you have a child (which pretty much any proud mom would).
