I used to say I'd never buy a purebred dog when there are so many available for adoption, but since that experience, I've been a puppy-buyer ever since and frankly, would never recommend to anyone that they adopt a dog that's more than a few months old. The risks -- emotional and physical -- are just too great.

So just based on that one experience, you will never adopt a shelter dog no matter what breed it is? Good thing everyone doesn't feel like you do, or all of the dogs there would be put to sleep.

All of my dogs have been from the PSPCA and I have yet to experience anything negative happening with them.
