I honestly would go for a rescue before I went to a breeder but, i understand your concern for your little one. Bringing a rescue into a home with a relatively calm and already trained dog could cause behavior problems to arise out of your current dog, however it could also be completely opposite. You'd just have to teach the rescue your house rules as you would any pup from a breeder. You really never know how your little one will react to a new dog until you get one and you definately never know a dogs personality even if they come from a breeder. All in all I'd go for a rescue but thats just me. Sorry for rambling. |
I am now looking into rescuing or adopt a dog when I move.
