"I wouldn't even want to sell a dog to someone who would give up a dog if it had a problem. Those aren't the kind of homes a dog deserves. I think many sport people get so blinded by the goal that they forget this is a living being and as KitKat said, they have a certain responsibility as to how that dog turns out! The disposable mentality is sickening, as is the lack of personal responsibility on the part of humans, particularly the USA lately. "

Yet, you placed a puppy with someone who admited to move dogs that don't cut it.

In the dog's mind, the feeling of being rehomed/sold/placed is all the same, no matter what excuse or spin you put on your justification.  I am my 5 yo's third and final home. She bonded with me with in days and is nothing but happy. The two youngsters I have placed in the past because <insert reason>  are in loving homes doing jobs that suit their personalities.

I agree with jenni but sometimes you can spend the money , research a breeder and the pup does not turn out as hoped. This is not the fault of breeder or buyer. I believe that  decisions should always be made in the best interest of the dog. They are not commoditys but living breathing creatures.   I purchased my dog,  saved  and spent lots of money hoping he could be a service dog for me. He had learned many service tasks but is a bit too reactive to be to pass a public access test.  He is my  dog  and beloved companion for life and I  am enjoying all the things we can do together,.

"They are not commoditys but living breathing creatures."

You may be disappointed to know that from a legal point of view, dogs are a commodity.

no jenny i did not.read all the posts in its entirety as i did not feel the need to. In short if i bought a young pup and at 10mo old im not seeing what i want in a dog and i sell/place im a bad person because i should have NOT BEEN A CHEAPSKATE and bought a an adult dog for 10x the money... Are you for real??? So what was capris SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES that her owner who did not even have her advertised felt the need to sell you the dog? Was it to the tune of about $15000 special cuircumstances? Did they have too many dogs? Not need the bloodline? dog is nothing better than another female they owned and the other female was.their daughters dog? there are hundreds if not thousands of SPECIAL.CUIRCUMSTANCES a dog/pup will be sold or placed and i cant fathom how they are any more valid than someone selling/placing one for not living up to ones expectations. You really got me on this one. If.i sell/place one to someone who thinks the dog is the greatest thing this side of the mississippi that is bad but its perfectly fine for capris owner to sell YOU TH DOG. Was the SPECIAL CUIRCUMSTANCES that you promise not to work her or continue in sport to further her training and to keep her belly full of puppies for 4yrs? sorry for not.spelling.circumstances correctly and any other mistakes i made. I responded to this because it was me whom hans is refering too. Not to argue with anyone on here. Right now my bitch is staying in possesion.But ya never know. I still have those pesky hips and elbows to do. Im so glad the europeans havent come around to the american way of thinking when it comes to dogs :,

Nice try, Pack. Do you know who owns Dolce? 

Try again.  

Eisenhaus, what is your deal? Can you not understand my statements that there will always be circumstances where a dog is better off somewhere else where it's a better fit, but the revolving door mentality is bogus imo? What is so complex about that? You're awfully defensive about it. I guess maybe it was my comment about being too cheap to buy what you want and then being disappointed when it doesn't work out? Relax; I don't give two shits what you do. In fact, I think most sport people who sell a dog are doing the dog a favor putting it in a pet home. 

I don't know Capri's old owner. He doesn't speak a lick of English and I have never talked to him. I got her through friends of a very good friend of mine. I have no idea what his circumstances were, exactly, though I vaguely recall some kind of injury??? I really don't remember, but he wasn't a breeder anyway; I don't think he was someone who bought and sold dogs regularly, but I can't verify that. And what does that have to do with anything?  4 years is a long pregnancy for a dog. That should probably be checked out. 

Tropicalsun, I missed your post. Well said. You're so right. Juvenile is the word. 

This is futile. Anything you say can and will be twisted to be used against you in a court of the anonymous. LMAO.

I got pizza on the way and pups to feed. Cheers and Happy Saturday, all. 

Why, you are getting her back when she is old enough to breed?
