I've just had a surprise phone call My Daughter just rang , her and her Fiance saw pics of Sweetie and have fell in love and want him ... I know that they have been discussing getting a dog for the last few months , and according to Jean they sat down last night and went through every single aspect of owning Sweetie , vets bills , insurance , food , etc etc Im 95% ok with the idea ... Jean only works 3 hours a day (so Sweetie would only be in a crate for that short length of time on his own) , Grant does work long hours but is dedicated to training Sweetie. Money isnt a problem They do have two young kids (my Kidlets , lol) 8 and 5 ... but both of them are dog savvy having being brought up since they were babies living here with my three nutters , infact my Grandaughter has a Rottweiler , called Diesel , at her other Grandparents house and loves the breed ... and Jeans aware that Sweetie is bouncy and boistrous and knows she'd have to take a lot of care there , and knows never to leave the kids & dog alone They both know he needs a lot of training and ive said if i agree to them having him one condition is that they enroll him in some kind of training school which they agreed on , infact Jean is all for that. Its Jean who will be primary trainer, and I know she's good with dogs cos she is fantastic with my three dogs and always has been Im still 5% wary though ... mainly because of how bouncy Sweetie is (they actually like the name Tyson so will be keeping that as his name ) he could easily damage one of the kids sending them flying A big bonus is that id be able to see him grow up though I rang the other Grandparents tonight and explained the situation and they agree with me that its a good idea , and seeing as they know the breed they are coming around tomorrow to do some work with him and show me how to train him up
At least since it's family you can do things slowly, e.g. have them come over to yours to get an idea of his nature in a relaxed home situation, then start to take him for an evening/weekend to trial him out before commiting 100%. Fingers crossed it works out for Sweetie
