I dont quite understand if the dog is so viscious, why you dont place him in a home with no other pets unless he is viscious to people too. I am sure he would be alot happier and so would you. I am sure being locked away in a room with nothing but a "view" isnt helping socialize him with other dogs either. No, a dog arriving with tumors is not your fault, no a dog arrivng with a bad temprement is not your fault. I dont see where anyone said it was. I dont know how big the tumors were and would a vet have been able to notice them on a normal physical? I know my vet doesnt check over every square inch of my dogs when I bring them in so I dont know. You are right, if the dog arrived mean with tumors as you say then it should have taken it back and you money refunded 100%. No one is disagreeing with that here.

He's not locked in a room with a view, I keep him there for a couple of
hours in a playpen. It has no doors and one open wall to another area. There's a greenhouse attached, he watches the wild life in the yard (2 acres). My house is huge since my husband is a real estate developer. I rotate the dogs so he gets the same attention in several parts of the house, none have total freedom of the whole house. There's a gallery on the 3rd floor that they could fall through, plus floating stairs. He sleeps in my bedroom in an x-pen at night and plays in my bed. I don't mistreat my dogs like some breeders do. I've owned dogs for 46 years. Actually he's getting more attention then my Mi-Ki (so sweet), since we are working with 'vicious one' so we can get past some of his issues. I hope in time I can rehome him with someone who works for my husband and pay all his medical bills, food,etc. It seems he was abused so it isn't easy to accomplish much quickly. He will hide under his bed if the trainer uses a shaker can. He's behavoir indicates he was abused by someone. I have no clue who but he arrived this way. When I asked Jen, she said it was her fault for playing with him this way. This isn't playing. He hides because he's afraid. It's also a possibility he was sent back to Jen since he arrived with a bling collar. I doubt Jen would spend a dime on anything for him since he arrived with huge ticks, crummy coat condition. She could have removed the ticks herself. I saw the tumours under his chin before he went to the vet, didn't have to look for them. He has no hair there.
My issue is I was upfront with Jen and she lied about this dog to me. She has no ethics or morals, not a professional just a dishonest breeder to sell a dog like this to anyone without first, caring for his health and second, working on his issues. You do know she teaches puppy classes and agility so she claims. She didn't stand behind her dog, only wanted to get rid of him. You are correct, he should have been placed in a home with no other dogs but why would anyone want him unless he was free. When you pay for a puppy from a reputable breeder (not Jen), you expect many years of happiness from a dog with a good temperment not a puppymill quality mess.
