gamerooster 1,179 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Not sure how to word this but here goes.... always had saluki crosses of some sort, but being as variety is the spice of life i decided on trying something new, so got a bull pup from working stock, but i guess hindsight is a wonderful thing as they say.... for some reason i just cant gel with the dog, and tbh the dog isnt my cup of tea but i hate people who get rid of dogs once theyre sick of them and i think hell make a good dog, when i got him i lived out the way but now live in a built up spot, and taking him anywhere is torture, so i guess what im asking is do i let someone have him who wants him, or do i keep the dog and live with my mistake? I know ill get a bit of abuse for this, and rightly so, but my heads up my arse with it all, as much as i regret getting the dog i know hell be looked after here, what i dont want is it going to someone wholl lock it in a kennel all day and feed it on shite, when i have him out for a few hours a day and spend more on his food than my own Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Life is to short to live with a dog you don't get on with ... the longer you have the dog the more you will resent it ... you have been honest with yourself so as long as you find the dog a 100% good home where the dog will have the work it needs then there's no problem ...... 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arcticgun 4,548 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 sound advice above mate, life is too short and the dog will feel the resentment, find him a good home, he likely make someone very happy 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Doesn't matter what anyone thinks,you have 3 choices keep it,give it away or get it put down. Personally i'd get it put down unless I had a 100% trusted,ideal home lined up,which I'm guessing you haven't because he'd already be there. It could end up in the wrong hands and be a liability and it'd be your fault if that happened. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As long as you trust them not to pass the dog on I don't see a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of trouble comes from passing on these sort of dogs. He didn't say bull x. Edited June 11, 2017 by neems 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 29,833 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 If as a working dog man you wasnt happy with a new shovel or a ferret would you feel obliged to keep it anyway....of course you wouldnt,i dont know why we obssess over the whole " a dogs for life not just for xmas " mentality in this country.....a dog is property,its yours to do as you please with as long as nothing cruel takes place then get a new one every week till you find the one your happy with if thats what you want to do. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
