2gs to BUY a dog. Thats fucked. Let me translate that ad.
We bought a cute puppy for 1500 dollars, now hes older and people don't come up to us at kits beach and compliment us as much anymore. We invested money into keeping him healthy so now hes worth more than what we paid. Looking for a small profit and to reinvest the money in a new puppy. My loss is your gain. If you give up your dog after a year, you better give him away for free to the best fucking home you can find. Sorry for the tangent, but people like that make me fucking sick.
As for some helpful advice. I have a friend who got her staffy from a breeder in oregon, and basically everything was taken care of to the point of just showing up at the airport, picking up their pup and heading to animal control to register him. Its very dependant on the breeder though so call around and speak to them individually. My landlord adopted a corgi locally from one of the surrounding areas animal control, but they are a very desirable dog due to their relaxed nature and easy to handle size, so it was really just down to luck. Consider visiting some shelters, you may very well find someone you really want to take home regardless of breed because you just "click."
