[quote=Anonymous]We used a breeder because we wanted the best chance of a good match- we wanted to bond with our dog, have less likelihood of personality/health issues. 
Dogs are a huge responsibility and they are not at the level of a human in the household. If a dog is dangerous or highly disruptive and cannot be re-trained, they usually can't stay. This is especially true if there are kids. 
All that said, our little miss came with some personality surprises- but overall, she came as expected and we train/tolerate the hard parts. 
I absolutely judge people who ignore red flags for puppy mills and I also judge people who go out and get any dog from a shelter or breeder without a commitment toward training and care. We had a dog years ago that we re-homed because we had no idea what we were getting into and selected a dog that had every problem that we didn't want-- dog happily went to a more experienced family. My current self judges my past self, so we were much more careful and mature this time. [/quote]
