Yea, for Karen, and very well stated.

I will now just be restating alot of Karen's point, but they cannot be said enough.

How can information, any information(especially in this case), be wrong. When you go to look at any animal, you want to know what the breed of that animal is generally like. You don't want to get a breed that requires a lot of excersise if you can't provide that excersise. There are a lot of other examples, but why on earth would you want to go into anything blind. Especially a long term comminment like this. That is just asking for problems. Even if it does sway a decision from a certain breed of dog that you think you may have wanted, is that bad? It may keep them from making a major mistake. Then like you said another animal ends up abandoned or in a shelter.

Ask if they reseach cars or any other major purchase or if they think that would prejuduce them against buying one brand over another. Once again is that a bad thing. Do you really want to but a piece of junk that may break down with all sorts of KNOWN issues.

I personally reasearch just about everthing. If I am buying a product I want the best buy and best quality for my money. If I am getting an animal I want to try to get the best match. Does that mean that if I go to look for one and I find one that my reseach say will generally not fit, will I not get it. No, I will take what I know and what that individual animal traits are. Then I can make an informed decision from there. However, I then have to deal with the consequenses if there are any, but I knew previous what they may be. I would also know how to better deal with them.

Ok, I think I have offically rambled for too long. However, even if I have not made my point I think that I have shown that I really believe in research.
