To purchase or rescue is a personal decision. We all have our own opinions on this issue, so let’s please not turn nasty, yet again. I’m so tired of our PT family fighting all the time.

I will say congrats on the new puppy, and I’ll look forward to pictures.

Di - while I respect your opinion, and I agree that you have a point to a degree, I have to say it’s even more rewarding when you take a shelter dog and “turn them around” into a wonderful member of the family. You never know what you’re getting with any dog, whether it’s well bred, running the streets, from a shelter, or from a BYB. If you put in the time, love, patience and guidance, ANY dog can be what you want it to be.

lv4dogs - Do you have names picked out yet?
I couldn't agree more with your post! Thanks Micki

Um, Well, I've got a few names floating around in my head, I'll post an entry about that soon.
