Dog V1 came from a professional breeder. She was descended from a Crufts champion no less. V2, V3 and V4 are rescues. Because of how many dishonest breeders there are and the cost I would always go for a rescue. There are so many sitting there waiting for the perfect human bed to steal!

And he’s right, dogs needing food and good living conditions is the bare minimum. Dogs need exercise, mental stimulation, training, and constant affection and companionship!!
And yes, ALWAYS do your research and make sure you’re getting a dog from a responsible breeder or rescue!!
