Mainly because the last time I hosted a big family dinner, I had to eventually lock my dogs away from the "hustle and bustle" because people kept letting them out the door, giving them bites of dessert that they should not have, allowing them to play with the wrapping paper, twistie ties, hooks, tags, you name it!! LOL!!!
So I understand your side of it, and do agree that there ARE exceptions.
The only problem I see is that some breeders do not really bother to see what kind of atmosphere the new pup is going to be in during the holidays. So I feel in general a breeder should atleast inquire about the prospective family's holiday schedule and then make a responsible decision regarding the pup that everyone involved can live with.


I completely agree! I responsible breeder absolutely should inquire about the prospective family's holiday schedule and then make a responsible decision regarding the pup that everyone involved can live with.
