[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - I will also add that when I thought we were getting a mid sized 40 pound dog my oldest 9 year old could help.

Now that our dog is 70+ pounds (and still growing) our kids can’t help. She has thrown two of the kids into a wall and tree when they were trying to hold her leash because she decided to chase something. So they are longer allowed to hold her leash ever. [/quote]

Yep - and sometimes you get a golden doodle from a breeder that you think will be 40 pounds and he grows to be twice that. You’re trying to find a reason that will make you feel less guilty, I get that. But just own it - you had a idyllic vision of what dog life would be like and you didn’t get that and it sucks. So rehome if you really can’t deal, but feel guilty enough that you don’t get another dog, or at least not another young one. Just like with kids, you don’t know what you’re going to get - they grow to be different sizes and temperaments and you get what you get. [/quote]
