What is the difference between adopting a dog and buying a dog?

It is FAR better to adopt a pet than to buy one. When you adopt, you save a life. Most adopted pets have much fewer health issues. You might think that you could only get a purebred puppy from a breeder, but there are a lot of purebreds waiting for homes in the shelter. Mixed-breed dogs make wonderful pets, too. They on average have fewer health issues and live longer. So to sum things up, you should definitely adopt one at your local shelter.

I've adopted dogs in the past with no issues And I've bought dogs in the past who got so many bad habits just from watching other dogs. Remember in a dogs mind bad attention is still attention

When it comes to buying or adopting a dog, many people spend a little too much time focusing on the breed. What it really comes down to is the individual dog's personality. Terriers are known for being energetic, but some can be quite relaxed. Still, breed is a good guideline for what to expect of a dog in general.
