[quote=Anonymous]We are on the cusp of deciding to get a dog and I already rejected the idea of getting a rescue as I’ve researched specific breeds I want. I’ve posted on other threads that my DD was bit by our friends sweet, raised from a puppy pit bull when my DD was 15months old. This was totally unprovoked/my daughter was just sitting beside me on the couch as we were all talking. Thankfully the bit only deeply bruised her skin but it was her cheek. My decision to get a specific breed was made without knowing about the protocol pit bulls with rescue dogs (that I’m only learning here). Anyway-I gel even better with my decision.

I am getting a specific breed because I like how these dogs look, I like their purported characteristics and I like that I’ll know that it will be small. That these dogs don’t shed and are for people with allergies is icing on the cake!

I feel zero guilt or responsibility that I’m looking to purchase a dog rather than rescue (my only regret is the $2500++ cost.) I’m going to be a reluctant dog owner but I’ve promised my kid. [/quote]
