Is it okay to give a puppy as a gift?

Surprise Gift?

You should never give a puppy as a surprise gift to a friend or family member. Although this is a very well intentioned present, the receiver may not want to take on the responsibility of a new dog or may not want the dog that you specifically picked out. Your gift may either become a neglected pooch or a dog at an animal shelter. One better alternative might be to present an I.O.U certificate for a future puppy purchase.
