I tell this to all the rescue centre personnel I talk to , say training for both the dog and the kids with the dog would be high on my agenda with any dog/bitch we rescue, but the answers still no

Why ?

Guess we are gonna have to wait and save up some money and buy from a reputable breeder rather than save a dog/bitch from being in a rescue centre
