I guess my only hesitation with rescues is not having specific information on the dog's heritage regarding health and temperment. If I went looking, I certainly wouldn't be looking for the prestige of having papers or whatever....just want a healthy, well-adapted dog.


Greyhounds ARE an excellent idea as well. Definitely something worth considering if the puppy-fever can not be cured by time and much visualization of chewed up belongings and poo on the carpet.

Thanks for the info, Becky!
