[quote=Anonymous]When you want a certain breed, a rescue dog is not always possible or the best choice. I worked at a shelter and we didn't get purebred dogs in that often, and when we did they were snapped up right away. It's often hard to find a match through breed rescues, too. Even if you can adopt a rescue dog of your preferred breed, there are legitimate reasons not to. For example, my in-laws love a particular dog breed and have adopted several dogs from a breed rescue group. But problems with irresponsible breeding mean that many dogs are prone to health problems. None of their dogs have made it to age 10. After watching dog after dog suffer and die young, they've decided they can't handle it anymore and will get their next dog from a reputable breeder.[/quote]
