Our dogs have given themselves to us with no reserve and we owe it to them to see them as more than a hobby!!

Yes there are situations where a hard choice has to be made and may result in an animal being rehomed but the the point of the OP comment was just because the pup is arriving get rid of the children. Too many people take the easy way out.
I wish I had a pound for every time someone asked wen i was getting rid of my pets (3 cats and 3 dogs). Yes if a situation arose where I could not safely keep then apart if if the animal was suffering then I would look at rehomibg them but that would be a final final option until then there is lots if measures I can put in place to ensure we can stay as a family

I'm well aware that there are situations where you simply cannot keep your dog....but I work with a rescue and I see dogs that are given up far too easily with pretty lame excuses.
For example, a lady recently gave up a dog, who was only 9 months old because he chewed her shoes!!
