Welcome to YT. Great to see someone research having a pup so well as you are doing.
I think that you would be a wonderful mom and that you would see to it that your pup was well loved and taken care of.
I agree that an older dog would be easier for you and also you would be better able to see the personality in an older pup.
Apart from rescues, sometimes breeders keep pups back for breeding or show etc and then decide not to do so. If the breeder decides to rehome these dogs they are a good buy as you would know the history of the line and hopefully get a healthy dog. The extra you may pay over a rescue is well worth it to know you will probably not have to deal with often expensive health issues in the future.
Insurance purchase however is still a great idea as health issues can develop in the most well bred dog, and they can have illnesses and accidents!
If you seriously want a dog, it may be worth putting a request here on YT and contacting good breeders to be put on a wait list for a suitable pet.
Good luck and please let us know when you get your furbaby.
