I am wondering if they didn't give her away because she is nippy? Last night my daughter went to pet her and she nipped at her. She is also very possisive over toys. I picked all the toys up so noone gets bit. I am going to call the dog trainer I've used in the past today. I need to get her opinion on the dog. I am also going to call the people today and ask them again why they are giving up their dog. (I asked the other day and didn't get an answer.) I am hoping everything works out for the best.
