Thinking Of Selling Daisy

[wolfsoul]

Some people see dogs as "just dogs." It is an old-fashioned outlook but to each his own. You can't tell someone to feel something that he simply does not. Maybe the BIL's home is not the ideal situation but perhaps it will be better than this one. See the glass as half full. The way I look at it these days, people will keep or rehome dogs as they please...Visa was rehomed with me and I couldn't have been happier. Sometimes it works out for the best.

I'm sorry you didn't get the security system you were hoping for. With so much time spent at work, perhaps a dog is not an ideal pet for you. It would be much cheaper and less time consuming and stressful if you just went with a regular security system -- extra locks, automatic lights, alarm (maybe one of those dog bark alarms that goes off when someone is at the door), etc. Unfortunatly dogs are very give and take with their uses. They don't do what you want without expecting something in return. For a high energy breed such as a boxer, alot of training and exercise is a must. An outside dog needs twice as much training and exercise as one that lives indoors and recieves all sorts of stimulation.

Tim, I thought you and Daisy were happy togather, I really thought you were the perfect owner for her, I loved seeing pictures of her. But now this whole thread just disgusts me. If you get a dog, you are responsible for everything it needs, and that includes training. Your excuse has to be the stupidest one I've seen yet. Your only getting rid of her because you don't know how to train her? Can't you get a book online or something. There are plenty out there. If you knew she was going to be hyper with small children, why did you get her? She is such a beautiful dog, and she doesn't deserve this. I really hope you rehome her, for her sake.

I have trained my own dog, and as Briana said if a 14 year old can train one, so can you. You just have to be patient.

As a dog owner, you need to make the right decisions for your dog, and giving her to your brother-in-law to breed is just the opposite. PLEASE, put her in a rescue. I have no clue who your brother-in-law is, but if he's inexpeirenced with breeding, then Daisy could possibly loose her life. She is much better off just being a dog with someone who won't breed her, she'll have no stress. I am fully for the rescue choice, but overall she is your dog and I have no say in what you do with her. I just hope her life turns out oka in the end.
