Rescue or puppies?

We are thinking about rescue instead of a new puppy. Any ideas or recomendations?

I think it depends on a lot of different reasons. I know a lot of people will have an easier time answering this.......I just want to say that my reason for not rescuing was children at that time 2 turning 3 and a 5 year old. That was also my reason for choosing purebred. I wanted a puppy that I could train and raise up with my children, and a purebred because of being able to pick the traits I wanted to a certain degree. There are a lot of rescue dogs on here and you will get a better response soon. I wish you luck. Stormi and co.
Nonnie,

You should contact the OES Rescue in your area. OES Rescue Network (www.oesrescuenetwork.org) is the organization that would cover the South East.

They will be a great resource for you to determine which route you would like to take. Adopting a dog in need of a great home is a very rewarding experience!

Best of Luck!

Nonnie-
I now have 2 sheepdogs, the first was raised with us from a puppy, the 2nd we "adopted" this weekend. Cooper (3 yrs) is adorable, and pretty well-trained, but we all have adjustments to make. My thought was this; A puppy means starting from scratch, an older OES may or may not retraining, but remember he/she will weigh 70+ lbs! I guess you need to decide which will rokek best for you.
