Betel went back to the breeder on Friday. I cried most of the way down and all of the way back. And I kept sporadically crying while I was there. We waited until he calmed down and relaxed on the floor for me to leave - then they took him to give him his dinner and I snuck out while he was gone. He will have lots of friends to play with (and 5 acres!) while he is staying with them, and they also have some kids to play with him. He'll get to learn from some well-trained and -behaved dogs, and learn from some humans who have good, consistent obedience skills.
They are going to find him a wonderful home that has a dog friend and plenty of space. They said he looks great, that he is alert, aware of his surroundings, and he has his name and sit mastered.
It was awful to leave him. I hope this is for the best and he has a wonderful life with his new family.
I am never getting another dog until I have a huge amount of land, a huge amount of time, and a partner who can help me. I feel so, so horrible about giving him up.
Orion leaves tomorrow morning.

I can only imagine how horrible this is to you. They seemed like a merry bunch.
Best,

Oh I'm so sorry that you're saying goodbye to Betel and Orion! That must have been a tough decision to make. I hope that they will both come to like their new surroundings and that you'll recruit a new pet family when the time is right for you.
