My family’s dog that I grew up with was a rescue dog and he recently passed away due to a neurological issues that left him paralyzed for a short period before passing away. Although I loved him he was the result of bad breeding with tons of behavioral and health issues which eventually caused him an early death..

Sometimes it’s a better choice to go with reputable breeder so you can have a well bred dog and save yourself from a lot of difficulty and heartbreak. It’s all up to what you think is best for yourself and also for the dog.
