I wouldn't put off the option of adopting a shelter dog but I also wouldn't just blow off a dog from a breeder. That's all I have to say and I hope you guys wouldn't be so harsh about buying a dog from a breeder.
Well, speaking for myself only obviously .... I have always tried to make a big distinction between a bad breeder (i.e. puppy mill or back yard breeder) and a good, responsible breeder.

I happen to like purebred dogs a lot. I own six purebreds. I have NOTHING AT ALL against responsible breeders of well-bred purebreds. SOMEone has to breed, and of all the possible choices, responsible purebred breeders are far and away the best.

I DESPISE back yard breeders and puppy mills. There surely is a special place in hell for them.

Just wanted to let you know, I am not harsh about ALL breeders, just irresponsible, stupid ones.
