A lot of times you can get a retired female, just make sure she wasn't in a kennel her whole life. Trainers also tend to know good breeders and don't forget to check the shelters. It's hit or miss but sometimes a family will turn over their pregnant dog and then the shelter will have pups.

Yes I do want a puppy, for training reasons. I want the puppy to get used to Rocky and people. I'll definitly ask my vet next time we go there. Thanks!

Edit: If I adopt from a shelter, then I wouldn't mind a dog a little bit older, but it would still have to get along w/ all of us, and be trained.
