I completely agree with Orangutango...


I've had 4 dogs come from a rescue and they've all ended up with some sort of health problem or another.
Not only do they get health problems, but they can also have temperamental problems as well... (Not your dogs, but rescue dogs in general... You never know what you're getting. I'd rather get a dog from a reputable breeder, having met the dog's parents, and knowing the temperament of the dog and it's family...)
