New Baby!!!!

Yeah, my main reason for going to a breeder and not a shelter was the fact that I knew I wasn't ready for a dog that "may" have baggage. I knew if the dog wound up messed up that was my fault.....lol.

yeah. We just can't ever find the breed we're looking for at shelters and if we did it would already be held.

Agree on the above 2 posts--both my dogs are from breeders who show, though we got "pet quality" puppies because that was what was available and we didn't plan on showing. The golden is way too big (100 pounds) and the English Cocker has a white mark on her chest (she's black, so that would disqualify her). For myself, I wanted to raise the puppies and I wanted a relatively guaranteed temperament, which I got. Not everyone supports rescue by adopting or fostering the dogs, some contribute money or time to shelters or rescue organizations, so some of the holier than thou posters should think before they spout off.

Contratulations on the pug, she looks adorable. My only suggestion--think about who will be able to be with her each day after you get her. We got our Jake just before Christmas (the breeder wouldn't usually do that, but I begged and must have seemed responsible...) and had to go to a Christmas party on his third day, he was very upset to be in his crate. You dont' always think about all the running around that you might need to do.

Don't worry Jakesmom I will be home with him for the next two weeks due to winter break. I know how to train the puppy to sit, stay, down, up, and heel, I can also potty train him since I had to help out with Curly.

I trained Curly so I'll be able to train this one. It'll be fine. We'll have everything set up. We don't believe in crates so we will just lug him around everywhere. lol

I must admit I have had a pug around once and they just have an adorable temperment. He was a Senior Foster that we let live out his golden years from a rescue. I was just always worried I would step on him. lol Congrats on your new baby.
