You put it so well. It is hell. What you lived thru is exactly what I lived though. My puppy acted like a severe abuse case. Some people that knew me slightly thought he was a rescue, not my well bred(both sides of the pedigree are good, but not mixed), conformation and obedience prospect. What made the hell even worse was the breeder told everyone that would listen that I was the one that caused his behavior- that I abused him.

I would burst into tears for months after I returned him to his breeder. I morned my loss. I couldn't go to a dog show for more then six months afterwards. I finally thought about getting another puppy about 9 months afterwards. I didn't end up with one until nearly a year and half later.
I just wished I had the guts to put him down. You did the right thing with your Zeke. My condolances.
