Just about all pure bread dogs are a pain in the ass. They all have medical problems or at very least require special food or they crap everywhere. Just my experiences. Rescue dogs can be a toss up though too and you never know what the previous owners did to them.
Honestly the best way to get a dog, purebred or mutt, is to decide on what you want the dog for, then find a dog with a temperament to match it's purpose. The only way to identify a dogs temperament is to actually take it out for a walk and play with it for a while. Also there are foster programs where you can take care of a dog for a little bit and see if it is going to work out. The worst thing you can do is find a dog online and buy it because of the picture or breed type.
My dad bought a Visla that was supposed to be a great hunting dog. Well it was a purebred dog and developed neurological problems when she was two. The dog is always on medication, has a medical emergency about once a month, and is terrified of gun blasts. So terrified that she can have seizures.
Try PetFinder. It is usually made up of sheltered animals but I got my current pitbull off there.

I have been looking for a web site also, I have 2 poms I need to get rid of, my wife ot 2 cats and now its like the zombie apocolypse in my house.
If you can, try and go thru a rescue. If you are set on a certain breed, see if they have a rescue for that breed.
Do your research on the breed if you are set on a certain breed. I researched dobermans for about a good year or longer before I got my pup and i'm happy I did.
I honestly dont know a good site to get a dog from. Just try and stay away from backyard breeders.
breeders.net I think is where we got our pup from.
Been looking on this journey for a while myself.
A lot of crap out there and a lot of people who want a whole lot of dough for their dogs. Not sure what the answer is- other than maybe a rescue. Gotta watch those though. Start with a 4 page application, an interview, a home visit, a trial period and still might end up shelling out a couple of hundred bucks.
Good luck to you... love dogs
Have fun with the puppy!! I know I did when I had my kids!
