Re: To get a shelter puppy or not?

My husband was at the shelter this weekend helping install new gates on the kennels (he volunteers his "handy work" there often) and our friend had the puppies running around while he was there. One little guy in particular followed my husband around the entire time he was there Needless to say my husband was not about to leave the baby there when he left, claiming that he just had a "gut feeling" that it was "meant to be" It is very hard to argue with that when you've got the most adorable little rottie puppy face staring at you The puppies do have AKC papers, so I plan on obtaining a pedigree to get some sort of idea on the heritage of the little guy. He's already stolen my heart, so I guess I will just have to keep my fingers crossed that no major health issues develop. All of my previous rotties had been rescue/shelter/byb dogs that either came into our lives as adults or, with our last girl, "larger" puppies (she was almost 5 mo. when we got her). So this is our first experience with a 8 week old rottie pup and I find myself completely in awe of how small they actually start out in this world
