I would also add, that for every puppy we purchase from a breeder, one will die as a result of over crowding at rescue centres. There are breed rescue centres all over the country, so no excuse.
Nina there is an excuse because a rescue may not be for everyone,especially those rescue dogs with little or no history.Families with young children often won't take on a dog with an unknown history.
Rescues also have blanket policies in place which make it difficult for some people to aquire a rescue dog.

The first post was mean't as guidance for those considering buying a puppy.
