Hi,
just asking for some info and experiences, as I’m potentially going to be a first time dog owner and just wanting to know what to expect re the process.
bit of a back story is a woman we know, her female dog had a little of pups last march (one of the litter was to a relative of mine), all but one pup was bought/homed, the breeder chose to keep one of the pups back. It’s now become apparent that she can not give the pup the time or attention he deserves, he is in his crate for most of the day, let out for wees in the garden now and again, barely walked or not regularly etc. she is looking to rehome and we have expressed an interest, as if we didnt take this pup it would be a few years before we would be in a posistion to again.
Anyway, we have been discussing and she hasnt yet told her children she is looking to rehome and is going to this coming Monday, at which point she will then discuss a transistion period where we effectively share the dog for a few weeks. Is this normal practice for a 10 month old pup?
i’m not naive to think he would be able to come home with us straight away but i’m
not sure how this would work practically?
plus i’m also a little concerned that my own children will meet him, fall in love, we would make purchases and arrangements and the breeder could change her mind and decide to keep him.
i’m unsure of how to approach this, does anyone have any advice?
