Money Moral Dilemma: Should we still give our son £1,000 instead of a puppy?

You should give them both £1000 because it was promised, then you should spey your dog.
Plus your youngest should think twice about getting a dog if they can change their mind that quickly even when they know the puppies are already here/on their way!

regardless of the rights and wrongs of breeding to give your son a puppy, I hope that you are declaring the income to HMRC. If you promised then you promised gibe the older one the money.

1. Sell all the puppies
2. Give each £1000 to do with as they wish
3. Spay your dog

Good grief. The moral dilemma here is that you used your dog as a money making machine.  Poor dog

Absolutely agree with this! Makes me furious to think people use their dog as a money-spinner! It would never cross my mind to breed our dog because my child wants a similar dog.

I’m just really concerned about the fact that your son said he wanted a puppy so you bred even more dogs that were not necessary and then he changed his mind. There are so many unwanted and abandoned dogs out there in shelters needing their forever homes and this has just added to this problem. Your son is clearly not responsible enough to own a dog if he changes his mind so quickly. Give your son his promised cash and show the potential dog owner how difficult it is to care for a dog by sending him to some classes first, so there are no further dogs sent for re-homing.  This post had left me really sad as we always go to rescue centres for our forever friends, not breed more unwanted puppies. 🦮🐾😢

Absolutely this. So many unwanted dogs and cats being abandoned, abused or falling into the hands of evil dog-fighting gangs. Your son seems to want a fashion accessory not a sentient living being. Please neuter your dog and stop breeding.

You bred puppies into the world when there are millions dying in shelters. How sad and as for your poor family dog. And your Son changing his mind and wanting a retriever instead of one of the “family” Labradors. Surely there isn’t much difference ?

Treat both sons equally.

The initial proposal was to give one son a dog and the other would get a gift of equivalent value.

Maybe the simplest solution would be to give each son £1000

What a morally reprehensible family.  Some people shouldn't breed dogs or children.
