Came home yesterday to find a puppy on my sofa ....

OP, if you are really struggling please PM asap. I do a lot of volunteer work for rescues and can offer you some contacts.

But please bear in mind you have to be 100% committed to giving this dog up - it is a crap time of year for rescues and spaces are few and far between.

A shame it's a puppy - I'm after another staffie but definately not a puppy - been there, done that!

Thanks for the replies

I assure you this is not a wind up and Im terribly sorry if you think im trying to provoke a reaction - all I wanted was advice and support!

Ive spoken to him and it turns out a couple of the pups have been seperated due to a few of them being particualy aggressive and bullying a couple of the smaller pups, this being one of them, one of our other neighbours is also 'fostering' a pup. He said it is only for a couple of weeks untill homes are found for them and knowing that we arnt the only ones doing this has reasurred me a little that it IS only temporary. The kids have been told we are only looking after her for a little while.

Im holding him too the 'couple of weeks' but if she hasnt been found another home by then then shes going back, I am NOT keeping her long term as I know the novelty will wear off with kids and OH and it will be me once again being the one crying as I hand another pet over to someone else!

Thanks again for your honesty it is appreciated and just reinforces what I already thought

Ok, if this is a serious question and you seriously want the best for this puppy, send it back now!!
That "Aggression" your OH talks about is normal puppy play that is essential for their developement and is one of the reasons why pups should not leave their sibblings until they are 12 weeks old.
They do not understand boundaries unless they can feel how hard they are being bitten and how hard to bite.
You do not want this Pup trying out the boundaries on your children!!
