    Congratulations you got lucky and I'm happy for you. I can't tell you how many horror stories I've heard from people just wishing their rescued dogs would just hurry up and die because they don't fit in with their family. It's probably fine for a random backyard Fido, but most working dogs do a lot better with a solid childhood and adolescent upbringing. I can't have that with a Lab that's going to be very close to the family and whom I expect to be a solid well-trained working dog for the next 10+ years. Animals forced into a situation are not my concern, how an animal fits in with my family and work duties is a concern. Having said all that, we will be rescuing a mixed breed here in the next few weeks from the shelter over off 151 that will be just a general family house dog, just waiting on the right one to show up.
