  Hey, I would say that you guys are right on the ball.  No matter what kind of Dog you have or if you have children, emergencies do arise.  Most pure breed's have histories of certain issues.  With some of the lareger breeds its hip problems.  But if you find a good breeder with "good stock"  then it will be a whole lot less likely to happen.  I'm glad you guys are responsible owners and thinking about these things before bringing a pup into your lives.  props too you!
