[quote=Anonymous] I have both adopted a dog from a shelter and purchased a pure bred dog from a breeder.   Different needs and different times of my life. When I adopted a dog from a shelter I did not care about the breed, I was single and young. Had a wonderful dog for 16 years.  My current dog is a purebred miniature poodle. I am married to a man allergic to dogs and had a child allergic to dogs. Suddenly breed mattered.  A purebred poodle and a shelter or a rescue typically has some sort of issue. I wanted to ensure a dog that was in good health and was not emotionally or physically abused as a puppy    And a puppy mill dog has a whole set of other issues such as separation anxiety, etc. from being bred and raised in a cage rather than in a house. I agree that not all breeders are good breeders, so I did a lot of research. I want to support good breeders as, if they are doing everything right, this is the type of small business that should be supported. my breeder has all of the dams living in homes of the people who will eventually keep them, since they were nine or 10 weeks old, and they are bred  only two times, before they are spayed and become the permanent pet in the home they have lived in since they were 10 weeks old. I really loved her set up and I am in contact with the breeder still today, 2 years after adopting my boy.
