Rescues and shelters are also places I will be looking at.Not just breeders.I have not always trusted breeders, and I don't wanna pay an arm and a leg for a dog.Rescues and shelters will be the first place I look.I work at a shelter, I know those dogs, they are not perfectly bred for a certain thing.Some of the best dogs come from rescues or shelters.Some people bring their dogs to shelters and give them because they aren't perfect.My dog Tanner is from a shelter, my previous dog Max is from a pound.If I do chose from a breeder, I want them to be a great, reputable, respected, and qualified.Even though it seems ridiculous to pay 1k and up for a dog, when I can get a dog thats the same or better for $150, with everything that a 1k and up dog comes with.Breeders are just an option for me, in case I decide to buy from a breeder.I may change my mind in the future.
