Anon, I can't believe you work in rescue with that attitude. No responsible shelter or rescue organisation puts difficult or dangerous dogs up for adoption. Most, in fact, won't put a dog up for adoption at all until it has been carefully assessed for temperament. Most shelter dogs, far from having problems, whether from past owner or genetics, are excellent companions who, through no fault of their own, have been dumped by owners who are moving, surrendered because someone died, or got lost and not reclaimed. A shelter dog is the BEST choice!

You are wrong to assume that you can get a shelter dog with the traits and genetics you want for your home. First of all, most shelter dogs are pitbulls or pitbull mixes. Not what I would be looking for. If you want to know with any accuracy what the specific temperment and behaviors to expect, go through a respected breeder. Learn about breeds. Do your homework. Each dog has their own personality, but there are traits to breeds that you may like, or hate. It's irresponsible to think that by being a good person your dog will be a good dog (for your family). A shelter dog is a dangerous crap-shoot. My daughter was bit by a Siberian, which I love Siberians, that was tested, spent a day with us, etc...as soon as my German Shepherd went outside, it turned on my daughter. You can't remove hundreds of years of training and instinct in a few generations. This is common sense. You don't even always know what breeds are in the shleter dog, and if you notice, every dog is written-up as "shepherd mix", even if it's clear it has zero shepherd in it. And there's more than one "shepherd"....You have to protect your family.

Why should I feel bad for going through an AKC registered breeder to get a predictable dog that has the personality traits I want? Don't stop breeding, stop IRRESPONSIBLE breeding.
