I'm sorry that your SIL has to get rid of her dogs. I think spending some time on training is a better answer, but that is not my place to decide.

If I were you, I would try to convince them not to sell the dogs for sucha high price. I would recommend they contact Mighigan Pug Rescue, or another rescue group and surrender them to someone who is used to finding new homes for dogs, so, that like others have said, they do not fall into the wrong hands and become puppy machines.

I absolutely love pugs, and wouldlove to have one, but 3 dogs is enough for now. I hope they find good homes
