It's definitely a good idea to know what you are looking for in a dog, even if you are just going after a mixed breed. We adopted a Border Collie "mix" and she was THE HIGHEST NEED dog I've owned in my life. We got her when we lived in the city and the only thing that would keep her energy level at normal was to take her on daily long fast 2-4 mile runs, which could only be

Nice informative post. Dogs are becoming expensive as new breeds starts to be acknowledge and the benefits of having this kind of pet was becoming widely accepted. Having to plan ahead the acquisition of new pet simply requires the basic step of preparation of both financial and personal obligations.

Whan an effed up post. Seriously? Have you never seen Animal Planet save the breeding dogs or heard of puppy mills or something? Never never never get the cheapest puppy you can find.

If you are at a place that will bargain down puppies, that it isn't where you want to buy a dog!!!!! If your "breeder" is even cheaper than the pet store, yikes!

We bought our dogs a few years ago from a small breeder. We didn't pay too much for them, but you wouldn't believe the crap I got for not adopting!

I think you need to do what works best for your family :)

I bought my lab from a person who was advertising in the paper. Yeah, I know, I used an actual newspaper, what used to be before the internet. Anyways, I didn't care too much if I was getting a prized puppy, but I did go and check it out. The home seemed pretty legit so I picked my dog out for like $200. Not bad for a golden lab (mom was black dad was yellow lab). I think just thinking about

Adoption is the way to go! When you adopt you're saving a life and providing a much-needed forever home. When you buy from breeders or pet stores you're often supporting an industry of cruelty and adding to the pet overpopulation problem. Adoption is also affordable. I paid a fee of $329 for my dog which included neutering, microchipping, and a free general exam, and he was worth every

I have never thought of buying a dog, but I can't help but comment because my dog has been such a bargain. I think buying a dog would be risky, because money is involved and you just don't know what you are going to get. Acquiring a dog is risky, but putting money on the line as well is probably why it never occurred to me to do it. I guess if you are particular about breeds, you might
