Yea, my first choice would have been the shelter, too. But you now, puppies are SO cute! Even if it was owned by someone else, I would still want to take them home! I, and my sister, knew we weren't taking the puppy home. But the westie was so adorable, we just had to try. If my mom had said yes, I know my dad would have said no. if he said yes, well, then there would be something really wrong with that. When we got my dog, Sadie, my grandmas friends daughters dog had gotten loose and got pregnant. She had 9 puppies, and we took one. But thats not like buying one from a breeder. It was an accidental pregnancy, lol. And my dog is definitaly not purebred. She's a border collie x beagle x black lab. I know that seems impossible, but her mom was a border collie beagle mix and they think her dad was black lab. =]

Right now I'm trying to get my mom to go to the humane society. Our house is at an all time low, 2 cats, a dog, and 2 guinea pigs! It's too empty! So, I'm just wearing her down until she agrees to "just look." I know we'll come home with a cat then =]
