Hmm.. Would you give an infant back to the foster home if you decided you no longer wanted to adopt him/her? No.. Same goes for a pup. If you arent ready for a pup then you shouldnt have one unless it is a pup with physical problems. It sounds like its a "you" problem, not a "pup" problem. If you cant make a commitment to a pup, then you shouldnt have one at ALL. Just my 2 cents.
Forgot to add this: It's not that disabled people or people with health problems cannot successfully keep pets. Quite a few do, but where that happens, it's as a result of much careful thought, selection and adaptation. Much as I hate to say this, you could have simply paid a dog walker instead of returning the puppy. I think you do have much rethinking and re-evaluating to go through.
The shelters aren't filled with dogs and cats whose owners didn't like animals in the first place. They're filled with animals whose owners meant very well but didn't match their expectations to their abilities.
Naa-Dei - I agree with you - I am glad the breeder took the pup back, with no contract stating they would, and I don't respect those who don't either.
But - I am at a loss as to why the original poster feels he/she should get another dog - and older - when they were having asthma attacks in the cold weather when they were taking the pup out. How would they even know it was connected to the pup? How would an older pup help? Would they not still take it out? If they are allergic or having attacks from a pup, they would with an older dog. Maybe having dogs is just not a good idea?
You stated that you thought of giving the puppy away. You did just that. Don't waste your money on the court system. If, by chance, the breeder sends you a signed letter stating that she/he will give you another puppy within a stated period of time, count yourself lucky. If not, you will have no relief under the law. A verbal agreement will not be of any help in this case.
