Can I suggest too that you may want to check out Pet adoption: Want a dog or cat? Adopt a pet on Petfinder. Contrary to what you hear, there are full breed pups in rescues. And, if you are open to a young adult you can find them as well. With the economy as it is I am finding more and more pups coming into rescue due to owners losing their homes. There are many upsides to adopting. For one cost. On average you can adopt for about $400 which will include not only the shots and vetting but also the spay or neuter which in NJ alone costs $350.00. Not trying to cram rescue down anyone's throat, just making a suggestion since cost was brought up. The great part is you not only have a reasonable cost but you are also saving a life.
