Karla, maybe she can post a link to a video and everyone can actually see the pup/beast in action! My last puppy took petting as play time and chomped every single time i tried to pet him, it went away by 6 months old. Putting on gloves made it worse, he'd really go after them at that point. I miss it.......kind of ,

That's a great suggestion Al. I have a feeling that maybe the pup is detecting their desperation and reacting with negative attention. Maybe it's become a fun game now for the pup.

Debbie,
Wow, does this bring back memories of that time with our puppy! All of these suggestions are right on. The key word here is PATIENCE! Also keep telling yourself that he is only a baby and he WILL get better. It is truly amazing to see the changes that take place when the little alligator matures into an adult dog.
We had never been the owner of a puppy (or even been around puppies) before we got Nickie when he was 8 weeks old. What a shock! This forum was a blessing to us and kept us focused and aware of what was normal behavior. He is now a little over a year and a half and has become a dog that is a pleasure to have around!

FYI, I have offered to take the puppy back...Debbie is considering it and going to discuss with her trainer.
I commend you for that Karla, and I feel kind of bad for the OP, but if you did the temperament testing and the puppy was all 3's, then I would say that this is normal puppy behavior and that the OP needs to be diligent with pack structure and also work on bonding.
It is REALLY hard to have more than one person work with a pup. Things that are done one way, may be done slightly different with another person so the pup becomes confused and will not learn as quickly and there is a great chance the pup will develop issues.

Any suggestions on what I can do as a breeder? Should I try to work with the puppy myself?
Guess I missed your post the first time round.
Perhaps you could stop breeding obnoxious bratty puppies???? Nahhhh :p
Unfortunately this is something many breeders seem to face. What you do with the pup is your choice. Either find a home with a handler that is more familiar with the temperament, or raise the dog yourself and sell as a young adult??
Just to update you all...Evander is coming back to me today...Debbie and her husband have decided that this is not the right breed for them and they want to do what is best for them and for Evander.

Ms. Armendariz,
You are to be commended! Very responsible. Very professional.
As one of those who occasionally have some thing to do with rescue stuff and fostering, I am grateful when a puppy is able to be returned. From the sound of it, you should have little problem placing the puppy.
Thank you.

Thanks you all.
I care deeply about my puppies and where they go. I was with them when each one was born and stay in touch with the owners...I even have a "dog blog" where I post updates on the puppies/dogs...so all of the owners can see their littermates, etc.
I'll keep you posted on this little guy!

Karla,
I think you've been a responsible breeder and it's better that the problem was solved now instead of later. It's just so vitally important that people do their research before bringing a dog into their home. That's why I've been bugging the members of this forum months before I was ready to bring a puppy into our family.
