You should not feel at all bad about having bought from a breeder, though I can sympathize with the way you feel.. I to have dogs which I bought from a breeder. I feel the same about rescues, as everyone on here does, and I would do anything in my power to help any dog. However what we want personally for ourselves sometimes is just not available at a rescue. But ( and this is meant as no offense to anyone on here. I think you are all great ) but I will say the emphasise does seem to be put on rescueing only. I have registered dogs and at times I will admit, in my reading these post, it makes me feel quilty that mine are all purebreds.

My best to all dogs, and all on this board
