I just wondered how someone who has there heart set on a shelter dog, but then goes off and gets a breeder dog.

I don't understand that either. Maybe they just thought about
stuff longer and then decided they wanted a specific breed of
dog. ? Some people want the perfect dog (as a pup) and don't
want the hassle of dealing with a dog that might carry baggage.

I think training is training, whether you start from puppyhood
or train an older dog who has a willing heart, but through no
fault of his, has never been taught proper manners.

I'd have to go with Shelter dogs everytime. Not any dog, but
one that I feel a connection with.
