[quote=Anonymous]If you go the purebred route, make sure you find a very high quality breeder. My xH purchased one from a backyard breeder (I know, I know, he wanted one in time for Christmas) and she ended up having multiple problems. Unfortunately, good breeders often have a 2-3 year waitlist. For a rescue, don’t look at the dogs beforehand because you’ll pick the “cute” one and not the one that fits your family best. Find a rescue with an actual behaviorist on staff (as in, with actual credentials), explain your lifestyle and what you are looking for, and let them come up with a few options. I’ve seen so many rescues adopt out dogs to inappropriate homes, like a couple I know who are elderly and have been hospitalized for severe falls had a rescue convince them to adopt a very energetic and aggressive 1 year old male dog that they couldn’t even walk.
