I strongly support getting dogs from the shelter. We got our puppy from a cousin of my wife's -- her husband found a pregnant dog abandoned in the forest. The mother is half-boxer and half-american staffordshire terrier and the father we suspect was a Bavarian Scenthound.

Our little puppy is adorable -- she's got the scenthound temperament but the boxer coat (black-brown) and long legs. She's obedient and never barks in the house.

And we paid nothing for her -- but we would pay all we had to get her again. Dogs from shelters are the way -- you save a dog who really needs a home.

Honest to goodness, it wasn't me!
