[quote=Anonymous]Lots (not all) of purebreds are highstrung and prone to health problems, as a result of a small gene pool. I'd recommend you spend a few Saturdays at the shelter hanging out with the mutts and see which one has the best demeanor for your family. Look for a dog that's calm and affectionate even in the stressful shelter environment. I know the shelters in this area have gotten a lot of press for being too selective, but it's no more than any breeder worth his/her salt should be. If you do decide on a purebred, check out greyhounds. The hyper puppy years are behind them by the time their racing careers are over, and the rescue groups work really hard at making good matches. Plus, the groups generally re-home the dog if it's not a good fit. [/quote]
