[quote=Anonymous]Here's what moved me up: realizing that shelters arent going to have the dog I wanted. So I stopped wasting time. A Golden Retriever with a cleared health lineage. So I went to the AKC site and found a reputable breeder (ie one who cares about the quality of the breed and not just printing out puppies) and bought one. His parents are therapy dogs...no, not the counterfeit-emotional-support-squirrel type animals people try to take everywhere. I was extremely close to taking a golden from a neighbor moving out of the country, but he liked it enough he decided to bring it with him. So, I tried all I could to adopt. I didnt want an animal with a questionable traumatic past and all that baggage, with my kids. I didnt want some hyper tugging thing. And I didn't need some imperious screener asking me if I ever had pet a declawed cat or planned to use an electronic training collar, which I do. Now, that said, all I have now is a box of genes on 4 paws...I have a lot of work to do![/quote]
