Do I adopt, buy from a store, or buy a pure, a pure bred dog from a breeder? All three options are okay when considering buying a dog. My personal opinion is, what is your experience with owning a dog? I am a strong advocate of adopting rescue dogs. My only consideration is, a first time dog owner who has no experience with pets. This may be a hard decision if you adopt a rescue dog who needs more time and attention than your experience level can deliver. Buying a dog from a store is also a good option. My recommendation is to do homework on the puppy you're considering. Research the store you're buying from. Make sure that it is a credible store with strong bloodlines of quality dogs. Third option is, should I get a papered, AKC dog from a breeder? This is certainly a good option as well. You must still do the research on the breeder and the dogs to make sure the dogs are healthy, and it is a credible, a credible AKC breeder. Any option you choose will be fine. Just make sure it, it fits with your experience level to give the dog the best home and life.
