I have been looking at a few different dog breeds. However, recently, I've been feeling almost guilty, lately, about not rescuing or adopting a dog.
If I could afford it, I'd get a puppy from a breeder and adopt a dog. However, I can't afford to do that at the moment. I have legitimate reasons for wanting a well-bred puppy but as all of you know, there are so many dogs out there that need homes, that I am torn, at this point.
One of my fears about rescuing is that I don't have any history, as far as possible genetic issues and illness and, also, an adult dog may be more difficult to train. I realize that there are no guarantees but I've had a lot of traumatic things happen with dogs that I've owned in the past. Those dogs were not from reputable breeders. Unfortunately, I didn't know what I know now.
My last dog was from a "reputable" breeder but he still had a lot of problems and, although we loved him very much and he was like a member of the family, I wasn't able to really enjoy him. In this case, the breeder steered me away from the puppy i wanted in the litter because that dog was a better show prospect. I ended up with a dog with a temperament that I couldn't handle. So, I couldn't do the typical things that people do with their dogs because, despite LOTS of training, his behavioral issues were formidable.
So, while I'd like to give myself the best chance of having an enjoyable experience this time around, I sort of feel like I'm depriving another dog, perhaps in a shelter, who may be euthanized, a home, by getting a puppy.
Did anyone else have this kind of dilemma?
