Who is to say the puppy isn't from a rescue?

OP may have tiny children for all anyone knows.

I've repeatedly tried to home a rescue and it's very hard.

Agree dogs are not a gift but a living animal.

Just get his cheque book and write several cheques for varying amounts, for things like vet bills, insurance etc.

Double everything if said dog is a mongrel designer breed or a brachycephalic breed.

Then, shit in a bag repeatedly and lay them on his pillow.

Surpriseeeeeee!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Animals are not gifts. If he wants a dog he should be involved in the choosing, preferably a rescue centre.

How about going to the dog adoption centre and choosing one. Pets are not gifts
