Whatever you decide the dog needs to get out of there the sooner the better.

yes it will be the whole kit and kaboodle, and i'm up for it.
it will be my dogs that might swing the final decision especially as he's just hit puberty and knowing how Labs can be at this stage i really dont know how mine will take to him.
i'll talk to the girl tonight to see what she wants to happen and when.

the pup is not house trained, rips the house apart, has no other training, is not walked ever, knocks the kids over and harrases the elderly dog.
well, i told you so, my head screams
she has asked if we would take him on. NOW!
my heart says yes, but my head says no.
the first, i've had dogs like this before so not an issue for me BUT the second......do i want to upset the apple cart? my two love other dogs even in their own home but having a hooligan rampaging all over them might just prove too much( i could be wrong, they might love it!)
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!
Contact the breed rescue
Don't take te puppy unless you are 100% sure & then get it in writing that the old owner has no rights once the dog is anded over

i know mine would walk fine with him, but its the living together that could be the stumbling block. i know i would have to intervene to stop any unwanted hooligan behaviour but how long before mine had enough.
i suppose its going to be trial and hopefully no error but he's young enough to learn.

I'm guessing she did not get the pup from a responsible breeder, as most responsible breeders would never place a pup in that circumstance.
If you can't take the pup (Labs are great dogs, really, truly!
) direct her towards a Lab breed rescue. Young Labs tend to get re-homed very quickly, especially if they are yellow or chocolate in colour.
