As Golden Retrievers are an alright breed, a better breed is similar to an alright one. Which is that? Basset hound!

I contribute to this rescue. In the before times, we had lots of activity in the bay. Even a part in the 4th of July parade in Novato.

As said a few times by others, adoptions can be tricky and not only from a behavioral view but health issues too. That's a plus, but no guarantee, of getting a purebred puppy from a reputable breeder who did all the joint, eye, etc. exams, provides a guarantee and return privilege if your vet disagrees with their representations, and an AKC pedigree to trace bloodlines if needed.

Even then rare conditions can develop. My dog developed canine discoid lupus later in life, an extremely rare condition affecting a handful of Northern European Spitz and Herding breeds and came from one of the most highly regarded breeders in North America.

Most Humane Society shelters have purebred puppies about monthly, often from puppy mills. They go fast so keep checking their site.

One of the biggest Oregon puppy mill busts happened at the HS where I volunteer. They have three full time sworn officers who went out to investigate a mill in Eastern Oregon that resulted in a roundup of 400 Dachshunds. Most had never seen a human and ran wild in the farmer's field. It looked like the wild buffalo scene from Dances With Wolves. We went through a specific process to domesticate them then shipped some out to other shelters and re-homed the rest. The became cute, lovable critters but don't know about any health issues from inbreeding.

I have a new outside pet? Ok not new, but this is the first good picture I was able to take.

You've got to be all mine, all mine

I feel like that's from a song I don't know.

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.

We have two Labs we rescued,,, both were right at 1 year old, which to me is the prefect age. Zeus our first we got from Lab Rescue Of Florida,, we got Max 2 years later from a different rescue. Both are great dogs,, although Max was a bit of a wild child when we got him. The good thing about some of the rescues is someone has been fostering them in a home and can tell you about them.

Always happy to see this animal hanging out next to me.

My Newfie guard dog at her post at my home office door.

My parents current dog is one they pretty much took from a family that wasn’t taking care of her. She is weird, she won’t let you pick her up or scratch her butt. She goes into a panic.

The one before was a stray that would follow our lab around while we were camping. The state parks ranger shot her and the camp host was able to catch her and take her to the vet. We think she was 2 and was likely lost, she was house trained. Was one of our best dogs, lived to be about 17.

Probably not her fault. Who knows what she was exposed to. Sound like she has a good home now.
