Puppy?

[Sleep]

Some places have purebred dog rescues, fostered by people who know the breed.  One is Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue, a legitimate 501-c-3 non-profit organization:  http://www.spdrdogs.org/

Legitimate breeders usually have their pups sold before the bitch is even bred.

People who advertise on Craigslist and similar sites are puppy millers.

The problem with shelters is that they don't usually know the dog.  Does it kill small livestock or cats?  Is it a runner or fence-jumper?  Does it bite men in uniform?  They don't know.

I did not know about that organization, thanks for the info! I know shelter dogs can have issues, usually the previous owner. Also, have on occasion bitten a man in uniform myself!    

Damn that puppy is cute, but to much energy for me! Good Luck.

I got both as adult dogs and no potty problems so far that weren't my own fault... Such as forgetting to take them out for a potty run... With all the adult dogs that need homes compared to how many puppies... I always hang out and observe a dog for a few hours before I choose to adopt or not...

In case anyone was wondering, I've located a puppy 20 Km away from us. He comes home on the 25th of this month.

Just in case people didn't see the other post....
The question of puppy or dog was settled when I rescued a tiny kitten the first week of August.

She is about 8-9 weeks old now. No doubt she is my life-long companion.
