[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here:  the breeders I am looking at raise the dogs in their own home, test strictly for genetics and hips and diseases and breed for temperament, run all kinds of hereditary disease testing - ask potential buyers lots of questions and won’t even sell to just anyone bc they love their puppies so much [/quote]

Breeders like this do exist. It just takes time and it’s not the cheapest. But in the long run a healthy dog is MUCH cheaper than one with problems.  I bought from a breeder and the dog has never had a health problem. [/quote]

+1  I used a great breeder in a nearby state for my dog.  You know when you have a good breeder because they do a lot of genetic testing and only have a few litters per year, unlike puppy mills.  They also love their dogs dearly and do not just sell them to anyone.  The waiting list can sometimes be a few months long.  I think it is absolutely wonderful if you are willing to adopt a dog since there are so many that need a good home.  However, with young children at home I really wanted a breed that was great with kids and not predisposed to health issues.  You never know what you are really going to get with adoption.  I don't judge people either way because you really don't know their circumstances.  For example, I know several people who own some variation of a doodle because they needed a dog that was hypoallergenic. [/quote]
