At this time in my life, I would want to rescue, but I have had purebred dogs which I raised up from puppies, and I don't begrudge others the chance to have that experience as well. There is an expectation with a purebred dog that one can in some way know more of what the dog and/or the experience of having this dog will be like. In a way that is true and sometimes it way off base. In our zeal and advocacy for *adoption*, which is noble and altruistic, I think we have to have open minds that those who go the other route have their reasons.
