I personally, have no problem with people going to a responsible breeder for a puppy. Afterall, if there weren't any, none of our breeds would be around.

I would love to adopt a shelter dog in the near future, and also from good breeders. I already have a great Golden Retriever breeder in mind, and am hoping I can purchase a puppy from her sometime when I move out, am financially stable, etc...and plan to compete in obediance with him/her, and do therapy work.
