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.
