Personally, I would never go to a breeder. To many dogs die every year and I don't think I could look at my dog Breeder bred dog and know that I could have saved a life instead of spending hundreds to have a pur-bred (if I HAD to have a certain breed, I would go to a breed rescue). I would love the Breeder bred dog no less then I would have a shelter dog but I think, personally, the guilt would catch up to me. I don't ever plan to show dogs, so I don't see why I would ever need a pur-bred. So me, personally, I would never go to a breeder, no matter if they were reputable.
HOWEVER, I do not think any less of a pur-bred dog or there owners, my mom's Sheltie Teddy is pur-bred and my sister's Pom is. I love them both dearly. I do not think of my mom or sister any less because they bought there dog's from a Breeder. I think it depends on personal choice. If you want to buy a dog from a breeder, then I have no problem with you, the dog or your choice. As long as the breeder is reputable.
I know I will always have rescued dogs. If I ever want a pur-bred I will go to a breed rescue. That is me though, every person is diffrent.
Don't know if that was the kind of answer you were looking for or not.
