I think it is so awesome you really did your home work before taking on any dog. I wish all people would do this, since dogs are not disposable. I hope she finds a good home.

We estimate that she would cost us about $150-$200 per month extra for her share of the dog-walker, insurance, food, toys, treats. This number excluded vet costs, and a spay.

I too am so incredibly happy to see a responsible person out there studying up on a breed before "jumping in"! They, all dogs, are a huge commitment, and need to fit into your family in all ways including financially, physically, and emotionally! Not saying that this dog is not a good fit but just really think you are being a great person in considering all the pros and cons.
Good for you Catherine!
