Because he was really a lot to deal with even though we sent him off to obedience training. Wife is pregnant and the fact both of us are about to be first time parents I knew there was no way we would be able to dedicate the time to both dogs and learn to be parents. There was just no way with all the daily care we had to give them. I stated this to the lady that trained him and she said she'd be willing to take him. Over the last week we have been preparing for this, but she hasn't really given me any support on the decision when I think in the long run, looking ahead it was the best thing to do.
