Can you remind me again why he's just a temp? I don't think I properly understood the story.
It was a litter of two boys, and up until a week or so ago one of the boys was staying, and one was going to a show/performance home. However that home has decided to wait (she's in school and pretty busy and really wanted a girl), the breeder had a trip planned and is gone for a week now, and really wants this boy to go to a show/performance home still. She had a hard time deciding which boy she herself was going to keep because they're both nice pups.
So, he's here for a bit, getting socialized, potty trained and so on, rather than both boys staying together in the same house. My official next dog will be a border terrier pup late next year sometime, the kids may want to do jr handling stuff and a high drive golden is a lot for them to learn on, plus I'd like to try a little dog for performance stuff.
