That's awesome Kay. The world needs more people like you!

I guess this just feels a little akward because my mom is on the Board of Directors at the humane society and we are so active in volunteering and donating. But at the same time, I think reputable breeders are needed to keep our breeds alive. It's a really tough choice - of course I want to go with rescue but I can't help but think that the right dog may be at the breeder's house. I am visiting the pups down the street tomorrow night and hopefully soon for the rescue litter. I will pick which ever pup I click with most, regardless of it's origin.

Giselle - Thanks for noticing that! The puppy actually isn't coming directly from Tealbrook. Our neighbor bred her dog (purchased from Tealbrook) under their guidance. I will definetly ask about it, though.

Thanks for everyone's help!
