[quote=Anonymous]I was pretty open when I started searching, but realized really fast that I wasn't going to get a shelter dog because they're mostly pitbulls, German shepherds, and cattle dogs who all have high energy needs. I couldn't get one through a rescue because I live in an apartment instead of a house with a fenced yard. That left purebred. I researched breeds that had the characteristics I'm looking for in terms of size, energy, good with kids etc and narrowed down to two based on cost and availability (I didn't want anything that wasn't in driving distance, no backyard breeders or puppy mills.) I really didn't want a puppy because I don't know how to train them, nor do I have time, so I started emailing breeders to ask if they happened to have an adult who was retiring soon. That's how I got my dog! [/quote]
