re: Verdell

You should not get a dog just because of its looks. Temperament is important also, make sure you research the breed also. Very important or you might get a breed you are not happy with. Like the person on the Sammie board who adopted one from the shelter and then wants to know if they shed alot. That is why there are so many dogs in the shelters, A. people who dont research breeds before they buy them and B. breeders who do not screen buyers to make sure they are good dog people and knowledgeable in the breed and this is truly the breed for them.
