As long as you have done your research and get a pup from a reputable breeder. You should not feel bad about it. I am proud that I got Galen that way ! . . . I have also adopted from shelter. My Saber is from a shelter. Bottom line is . . . This pup is going to be yours. You are taking care of him. Do what is best for you and your family. Never let someone make you feel guilty. Good luck finding your new family member
