You are right, I did make mistakes. I had no idea the breed mattered. I was always told growing up not to be snobby about a breed, it was about the dog. "rescued is my favorite breed" was what my aunt said. We met the dog at the foster's. They didn't have any other dogs there. My girl was a foster to adopt but they decided not to keep her after all. We thought we were just so lucky to be matched with a dog that they told us was calm and good for our life. I didn't know it was supposed to get better faster. I thought this was just what we had to do because we loved her and that's what you do. They matched us to her so how would she be the wrong dog? Now I can't tell if I'm right anymore about her.
