Anybody ever adopt rather than just buying from a breeder? I know to look out for the right temperament and personality, etc. But just curious to hear about experiences with this.

I'd say I'll probably check rescues specifically first, like maybe for a Golden Retriever or similar.
Princess is the first dog I ever bought from a breeder, and her brother Ochi was a gift. Every other dog I ever had came from the pound. Go to the shelters at lunch and look around.

I heard retired racing greyhounds are great pets. They are super lay back, very docile, very affectionate, and love to kick back on the couch.
