That being said, where should you go to find one of these “Top 10″? I recommend that you rescue a dog. You’d be surprised at how many pure bred dogs are up for adoption. If you’re like me than it doesn’t matter what mix you choose as long as you’re saving a dog. You’re choosing a companion that will love you unconditonally does it really matter if it’s a pure bred? If you’re really set on a certain breed make sure that you don’t buy from a puppy mill. When going to a breeder make sure they show you the mother and the dog’s living conditons. I have a client that bought from a breeder that would not allow her to see the mother or the living conditions. A red flag should have gone up. As long as people support puppy mills the abuse of dogs and puppies will continue. Do your research. Help stop puppy mills.
By the way November is “Adopt a Senior Dog Month”. That’s always an option. They need love too.
