I think those that rescue are wonderful wonderful people. I hope to rescue a pet one day in the future but I know I will buy my next dog from a reputable breeder. I don't think buying a dog from a reputable breeder makes you a bad person. Portgese water dogs aren't a very popular breed so I wonder how many are actually in rescue? And then they'd have to make sure the rescue was right for their family, esp having kids. I think it was wonderful they hoped to rescue but maybe the right dog just wasn't out there for them. If the puppy came from a reputable breeder than I'm totally fine with them getting one from a breeder. What makes me so mad is when celebs go buy from petstores, puppymills and bybs. I want everyone to either buy from a reputable breeder of rescue.
