In your post it sounded to me like you were leaning toward selling the pup. That's what I would do for a couple of reasons:
(disclosure: this is from a woman's point of view, one who has raised two kids)
1. Big reason. You've got a baby coming. If you're like the vast majority of couples, it'll be your wife doing most of the work, but, your wife will appreciate if your attention is very much focused on her and the baby at this time. Pup would be receiving even less attention.
2. Sounds like pup has a lot of potential. If you know someone who would take the dog and advance her, something you're time-challenged 8) to do, let them. The dog would be happier.
3. Wife says she doesn't want you to sell the dog. When the kid comes, she might just change her mind. First kid?? If so, I don't think anything prepares you for how much this will change your life.
Good luck with the new baby!!
