Your Purebred Puppy, An Honest Guide to Purebred Dogs and Dog Breeds

Very informative. Which breed suits your lifestyle, purebred v crossbred etc. The pros and cons of different breeds etc.

My parents have always rescued dogs, ridgebacks from well respected breeders. I can state from experience that you can get the digestive intolerances, hip problems, and other benefits of a pedigree dog for free, instead of paying for it! Win-win situation.

How about fostering a dog, perhaps a young one? Might be more demanding and can last longer than just dog sitting for a week and thus is more comparable. And who knows, maybe the dog grows on you and you decide to adopt it ...

I'm not sure the rescue organisations would put a foster dog into this situation.
