Okay so the wife and I are looking into getting another pooch. Been a year, it's overdue at this point I think.
Please don't judge but we're going the breeder route. It has been almost twenty years since we've done this and things have changed quite a bit. I think with Kasey, we saw an ad on craigs list or in some newspaper and then drove out to pick her out of the litter shortly thereafter. Now there's waiting lists and shit and dogs are way more expensive and, it seems as if you have to choose the dog before actually seeing it with some places?
For those who have gone the breeder route, can you offer any tips on how to find a reputable breeder?www.myspace.com0 -

we were set on a few mixed lil breeds and tried for months to adopt, every time we got close it was too late, someone else beat us to it. Smaller dogs harder to adopt
we went thru breeder route thru a local friend, yes it was expensive( almost $4k) but I’ve had my lil guy Kona since March and couldn’t be any happier… he’s got a great temperament… wonderful with kids, doesn’t mind carrying case, not aggressive at all with food/toys/snacks0 -

Having a friend refer seems like a safe bet. Did you do any research on the breeder as far as seeing if he had any AKC certifications or anything like that?www.myspace.com0 -
He's a Teddy Bear ( Bichon Frise/ Shih Tzu) he's gonna max out @ 14-15lbs, Ive had big dogs in the past prior to living in my own place, hes good cause I can travel if need be, or its not a burden for someone to watch him. ....he has the AKC Chip/Tracker and the breeder is affiliated with AKC....I even got dupped in the doggie insurance, like $ 55/month thru them.....you get about 75% of bills paid, dont know or think its worth it.....i did it for pc of mind for now, may cancel

I am dog sitting my brother's golden doodle this week. Haha...I call them Frankenstein dogs because they all look the same and have that same look in their eyes. But this one is cute. Takes up way too much of the bed though.www.myspace.com0 -

sorry, doodle owners…I’m really down on this craze. you take a great dog and breed in high strung, yappy poodles.If I had known then what I know now...

Takes up way too much of the bed though.This is my red fox lab. They essentially just mated a bunch of dark yellow labs to get red. There is no official red lab designation. They’re yellow labs by the book.0 -
