[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most rescues don't allow adoption if you have kids under a certain age.[b] Most of the posters suggesting adoption don't know this because they have no kids, just pets.[/b]

I think you can sometimes find rescues where there are puppies, but again, you may have an issue with your kids age.

Otherwise I would try to find a reputable breeder, go on a wait list and see.[/quote]

Rescues are not the only way to adopt.

Sincerely, 
6 dogs over the course of my life, not a single one from a breeder or rescue[/quote]

Well it would be nice if you included where you found these dogs. I didn’t know about availability beyond breeders and rescues.[/quote]

I already did!  Go to a freaking pound, for crying out loud.  There are dozens of "kill shelters" within driving distance of DC that adopt out dogs to people without the hoop jumping that rescues put you through.  You can see what dogs they have available online.  You can follow them on Facebook or Insta if you're waiting for a particular breed/age.  This is where breed-specific rescues pull a large chunk of their adoptable dogs - they watch pounds or their volunteers do and when a GSD or lab or Akita shows up they pull it if it doesn't get adopted first.  But you can adopt from pounds too, more easily than rescues, for less money, and without the worry that you're supporting some shady puppy mills in the process.[/quote]
