thousand more dollars trying to fix an infection, we put it down. So I'm not too thrilled with the
pound either."


With all that trouble in the past, why not contact the local American Kennel Club for recommendations on reliable breeders of the dog you really like?
What's a grand or two to y'all.

A lot of people, including me, don't think you should be encouraging
more dogs when they kill 1000 a day in Florida.
We did end up getting a puppy, against my better judgement and they
are a pain in the ass. All the "papers" are good for is a place to pee
for them (unless you want to be a breeder).
I really wanted a 4 year old rescue but I have this wife ;-)
