There are breed specific rescues.  What are you thinking?[/quote]'

We tried to adopt from three different breed-specific rescues. Filled out enormous, invasive application forms (seriously, longer than the application I filled out to get into college), provided references, consented to a home visit, and were rejected in one-sentence emails (when we got a response at all). We ended up going to a wonderful breeder (paid between 1k and 2k) and now have a happy, healthy, well-cared-for dog (as I'm sure we would have if any of those rescues had given us the time of day). Please stop to consider that many who end up going through breeders do so because the rescue process is so onerous as to discourage people from participating. [/quote]

Same thing happened to us.  We were on a waiting list for a rescue for a specific breed, but we were never selected despite doing an extensive application.  Also, the dogs that end up the rescue group were in seriously rough condition.  We ended up finding a breeder and got our puppy for $1200.  He's a nightmare, but we adore him.[/quote]
