Tim, I would rehome the dog for sure. If you wanted a security system, and ended up thinking the dog would do the job, then you were probably "barking up the wrong tree". This pupster deserves a loving inside home, with lots of training and exercise. You should have spent your dough on a security alarm system.

We have all made mistakes in life and I can think back to my decision to get a Bengal cat that was close to $1000 dollars, only to find out that it clashed with my one cat. The Bengal was rehomed, to a wonderful home out of state, for free. I owed it to the kitty to find just the perfect home. I think you owe it to Daisy. A real home, not just to recoop your money. You made the wrong decision, not Daisy.

Have a little heart and let this pupster go to an organization that handles Boxers and finds them good homes.

A lesson learned?
