I saved a puppy from a sick puppy mill - I havent made a mistake.

Getting one from a plush breeder isnt much of a scarifice - IF AKC is as important as it seems to some. I will forfeit the certificate to get a pup out of that - absolutely.

I would rather save a puppy from a puppy mill anyday - because they are going to be there whether I buy one or not - than to buy one from a plush breeder that is ensured a home even if they dont sale. Now - I feel even closer to her. I feel as if I 'rescued' the poor thing. She was born regardless - I was blessed to have met her and given her a great home. Without the condition of having an AKC certificate. Sure that makes sense.

Its satisfying - moreso than a certificate.
