Hummer, You have been debating this for quite a while now.. I think in your heart of hearts you know what the best solution is and that is to rehome. You sound like you are much more of a practical person than your mom. But keeping a dog just so you don't "break his heart" isn't a good reason. He is a dog.. he will love the next person who gives him treats and plays ball... you both are clearly miserable and stressed out over him. I would maybe check with your vets office and see if anyone would be interested in him. It doesn't make him a "bad dog" it just isn't the "right dog" for your family.. but his family IS out there!!
Why should the humans have to suffer to make the dog happy? When other humans would be happy to keep up with him? Sometimes pets just don't fit the situation.
@Lucky, you bring up a very good point. We sure didn't research the breed that's for sure. We expected the grooming costs, but the $200/month prescription food and $200/month is putting a lot of strain on our family right now.
Is he tired out after you finish playing fetch? If he is, see if you could flip that schedule for a little while. Burning off a good amount of energy in the morning might help him focus on working his brain and training during the day
well dogs can be a big financial commitment, i dont think its really fair to have gotten any dog, but especially a high energy breed that has grooming requirements and then be upset and rehome him when hes high energy and has grooming requirements that cost money
Is it more important to not "break his heart" than to rehome him to someone who can give him the attention he needs? Not that you don't, but clearly it's a lot for you to handle which isn't good for you guys either
If you mean the TB Jareth, I'd say someone would pay for his straws. Maybe not premium, but he has some great older lines and goes all the way back to The Wishbringer, which is fun. He produced reasonably consistently, too. Try selling and then work your way down to a price where people buy?
