We all know that life happens, and our situation can change - sometimes in a moment. ๐And, sometimes that change means that we have to make decisions that are heart wrenching and difficult. ๐ข We are very grateful that we have the compassionate and loving breeders that we work with, and that when a puppy/dog owner cannot - for whatever reason - take care of their precious baby, that they will take that puppy/dog back. ๐ It is not easy for an owner, but it is not easy for the breeder either. Now they have an older puppy/dog that they have to not only take care of, but they have to figure out what to do with them. Do they put him/her in their breeding program, do they try and find a new owner? What will they do? It can be a struggle. But, we also know that everyone will feel better knowing that that precious baby does not go to a shelter or somewhere that is "not a good fit".
We had a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog last week that had to be returned. It was very difficult - not only for the dog, the owner and the breeder, but it is hard on us too. We love doing what we do - it brings so much joy to people, and when that joy is turned into sorrow, we feel it too. Just know that your breeder is a special person, and there is no judgement. ๐ฉท
