I can see where some people would want a breed specific dog, but I think you should search rescue groups first before going to the breeder. But that's just an opinion I don't think anything of people that choose to get a dog from a breeder. I just really hate the mentality that some people have about a pure bred dog being better than a mixed breed. But purebred dogs have a lot of breed specific problems, I'm not saying that every purebred will get sick, but it is a possibility. And every dog is different, like labs for example I've met some that are so sweet and mellow and really nice dogs. And I've met some that are just super hyper and totally nuts to the point that I don't really want to be around them. So I don't understand how people can think that they are better than mixed breeds. I personally love mixed breeds and don't think I could ever justify spending a lot amount of money to purchase a dog when you can adopt a dog that will be just as wonderful.
