    Characterizing shelter dogs as train wrecks is inaccurate. As a longtime shelter volunteer I'd estimate about 1% are train wrecks. The majority make great pets.
    Dude, where's my can?

    CLAP!

    People think the pure breds are the shit, but many are so over-bred that all you get are problems. More often than not, they are the ones to avoid, not the mutts. (2 awesome mutt rescues here)

    Looks like I'm late to the Humane Society party but I will add that mill dog rescues generally have pure breeds of all ages and breeds. We rescued a dog from one outside of Colorado Springs called National Mill Dog Rescue. They have most of their available dogs on the website and do a VERY service for the dogs. One of the main people just lost their home in the Black Forest fire too. I'm sure anything you can do to help them out would be appreciated.

    I have no problem with a GSD if it came from a shelter. My lab came from the weld county humane society and he's by far the most loyal loving dog. but with that said he way to friendly to be protective. Yet another reason I want a GSD.

    well, I have talked it over with the family and decided to probably get another Lab. But this time I want to get one that is better suited for duck hunting then my current lab. If any of you guys knows of a good hunting lab in need of a good home please let me know.

    PM Akyla; Noah's labs are awesome. He can tell you where he got them.

    I can definitely give a few suggestions with finding a GSD. My GSD is easily a $2,000 dog that I got for a 1/3 of that She is a German imported bloodline with no health problems; and a truly instinctive herding dog, which is good, but annoying at times. When it comes to watching the kids on my property in the mountains, there isn't any other dog I would want for that. Whatever you do, be sure to get one that comes from an imported bloodline; the American bloodline is crap. You need to be careful with these; they can be great, but they can also be a menace.

    Check out Western Border Collie rescue. They do mostly borders but usually have other breeds as well. Our two borders came from them.
