Yes, every dog deserves to have the time and effort put into them by their owners, but some dogs (like this one) require more time and effort than one anticipates. It is not that the dog is not being taken care of. He is not matted or dirty or sick- HE IS AGGRESSIVE. It was not something that someone did to him- not the breeder or his current owner. There are 9 kids in my boyfriend's family- one is a business owner, another is a teacher, another works for the post office, a few are construction workers, one is a nurse and there is one brother, not the oldest, not the youngest, somewhere in the top 4 I think, but he has been in jail almost his enitre life for drugs, violence, etc. Not one other sibling has seen the inside of a jail cell. 1 out of 9. They were all raised the same way, by the same parents. So if you all want to blame the breeder because of her "zoo" or the current owner because she isn't committing to a dog that is just aggressive by pure chance, then go right ahead, but maybe you should stand back and see this for what it really is. It is an owner who wants to find another home for a dog that has special needs that she is not able to accomidate.


(However I do agree $750 is quite a bit to be asking for a re-homing, esp. when the breeder only charged $350)

He does need a home where someone will love him, but the asking price is that of a new puppy with no issues. There's lots of people that would love a re-homed dog but as I saw stated previously - not at that price. Making money shouldn't factor into this .... his welfare should be the motivating factor and I do hope you re-consider your price....it sounds like he could have a possible home already if the price was right.

As far as price is concerned Thank you to the breeder for knowing that I did put a lot of time and committment into him. I also let her know that there was a problem. The end result is not about money or what I paid for him but Maximo. It is not about how sad he looks in a picture that is him. There was a verbal offer between the breeder and I nothing written if I wanted to give him back let her know and I did. The breeder and I have never had a conflict over him nor will we ever. I was surprised because I did not say the breeders name I would of never said anything negative about her we make choices in life it is ok if she can't take him back. I wonder how many of us would take a dog back. Everything has been put on the table but Maximos welfare that is sad I will be the person who did wrong by him in this venue. In my house hold my Daughter comes first, I have seen other posts in reference to this I stand firm on this. Sorry the price is as it stands. If you are interested in him PM. I think the negativity will become consuming on this post he is still for sale but I will only look for Private Messages.

In the grand scheme of things I think if you read the posts you can see that the money coupled with the her attitude about it is what has people worried for this poor baby finding his new home. Not the fact that she wants to rehome him.

I read ALL the posts, and it is all of YOU who have attitudes. I agree that $750 is too much to ask for him. But if you all think that this dog is suffering SO BAD, and you are all about "saving" him, then why don't all you complainers put your money together to "rescue" him from his horrible life.

Credit goes to the original poster for being HONEST about the dog's aggression issues.

However, the asking price by itself was most perplexing....much less when the true cost of the dog was revealed.

Aggressive animals are the most difficult to rehome. Between training and neutering, the new owner is going to be looking at immediately pouring a lot of money into the dog. If it was mine, I would GIVE it away to a home I knew was going to give him a better chance.
