I know that some breeders try to make sure that the people who purchase them are not going to abuse them and will take care of them. I totally understand that.

But, I want to tell you a story about my mom. About 2 years ago my sister bought my mother a dog, without her prior knowledge. My mother had just retired and make a comment that she was "thinking" about getting a pet, but she could not get a cat cause she lived with another sister who was allergic to cats.

As it turns out this dog was a cute puppy, it had alot of energy and mom figured that "Daisy" would mellow out. Well Daisy has gotten worse, alot worse. Mom moved into a condo about 5 months ago, we all thought that maybe this would help, but NO. My mom is on the fence about giving the dog back to the original breeder. My mother has taken phenominal care of this animal. It had been mauled by my sisters, neighbors dog. My mom paid thousands and thousands of dollars to save this animal. So it is not that she doesn't love Daisy, she just makes my mom nervous, and it is hard for my mom to leave her alone for more than 3 hours.

You guys seem to know a bit about animals. Any suggestions.
