I want to get a dog to complete our family. We were planning on a rescue, but the more I read about how rehoming a dog can be, the more I wonder if we’d be better off getting a (non)-rescue puppy from a reputable breeder.
While I love the idea of helping a dog find a loving home, realistically, dealing with issues in a pup might be crazy hard work while I already have really little kids?!?!
Did anyone go down the rescue route (with small kids)? Do you think I’d be crazy?!

I have very young kids - is a rescue dog a bad idea?
