Um, yeah. I'm fairly certain those reasons don't fly. As for the reasons about him being untrainable...they had him for less than a month. We've had him for 3.5 days and he is already well on his way to being house-trained. It's called persistence. Honestly, I truly believe they weren't consistent with him and kept him in his crate for most of the day. He's a sweetie and yes, he nips but he is six months old. He will learn.
