Only some people are like that. Most won't treat you badly. I think it is a good idea to see the litter and try again to contact the lady with the rescue. If she doesn't get back to you then it's not like you didn't try. I have no problem with people getting their dogs from responsible breeders or rescue/shelters. Both places are perfectly appropriate places to get our companions from. If you want a certain breed, for whatever reason you choose, that is your decision. Nobody else can make that for you and you are the one who will be living with whatever choice you make, nobody else. There are wonderful dogs in both places and if you can find what you are looking for through a rescue/shelter then so much the better! If you can't then don't feel guilty or bad about going to a reputable breeder. Good luck on whichever pup you get, can't wait to see pics.
