Thinking Of Selling Daisy

[Zippy]

*sigh*
Why did you come to PT? You known what we were going to say.
No dog should be bought for protection only.Poor Daisy another innocent suffering because you needed protection and should have gotten a security system.

Tim,

Yes, please, rehome this dog. As soon as possible. You are absolutely right ... you are not the right home for this dog. If you PM me, I will make the arrangements with a boxer rescue for you, and they will come pick the dog up. I only need your permission.

That is the very best thing you could do for this dog ... let her go to people who know, love and understand the breed. They are very devoted to the breed, and probably have a waiting list of pre-approved homes. Please do the right thing, you became responsible for this innocent life when you bought her. Please do what's best for her now, without regard to money.

And PLEASE think very long and hard before getting another dog at this stage in your and your children's lives.

This upsets me,My thinking is when you get an animal,You are with that animal until they pass.

Hyper,I have a 100 pound Newf that runs through my home,And have small children all the time,But it is almost like she knows when it comes to children.

You say Daisy is Hyper,Well whether not there is training classes,You look and find one!

You would not think a Newfoundland would need obedience Training,But every Newf Breeder will tell you "THEY NEED TRAING"

I am so mad right now i could spit,This little Girl does not deserve this,And Frankly you do not deserve her,She is Beautiful.Please take others advice,And get her to a rescue.

This way she will be rehomed with someone who will lover her like she should be.

Best Of Luck Daisy!!!

I agree that rehoming Daisy would be in her interest.

Keeping your children and your pup seperated aren't going to do anything about their "fears" (so to speak?), though.

Time Out, Gang!

Dunno if any one's noticed ... but Mr. Lewis hasn't squeezed a word in here since 8:32 AM - Saturday Morning.

We might have misplaced the Audience.

Maybe take a few DEEP Breaths or a chill pill; and let him slip a word or two in here.

He got the dog for protection. She obviously isn't doing her job because she has no family to protect. Everyone on PT's dogs would protect them cause they are all loved and have a family a REAL family. And since he has no time to train her to protect like a actual guard dog she just isn't doing what he bought her for. I'm not saying he is for sure but I agree it obviously sounds like she is going to be bred. Please dont ever get another dog in your life and lets hope your kids grow up and have a better understanding of dogs and dont make the same mistake you have..

As far as not being here it was surely not because of what any of u said i have been sleeping. I dont need the money i make plenty of money in the coal mines, im sorry but to me a dog is still just a dog. i will miss Daisy very much if i do decide to sell her to my b i l. As far as her not getting attention you dont really know that she does get attention she isnt in a small cage 24\7. i get her out and take her on walks and play with her and i do love her, and as far as my kids they are way more important than any dog. the only way i would let her go is to my brother in law because i know he will take good care of her as he does his and if he wants to breed her that will be up to him. But honestly i could care less about the $600 i am getting for her that doesnt matter to me, but he will be the only person to get her i can tell u that. The reason i posted this is to see if any of you knew a way i could train her with what limited time i have, and its not a cop out its just the way it is.
