Dorothy,
 
You know, at this point if I could find a reputable breeder who was willing  
to help me with this process I would seriously consider it. I wanted a rescue  
dog because Lucky and Sandy were wonderful companions who'd been abandoned 
and I  didn't want that to happen to another wonderful baby. But this process 
has made  me feel so rejected and inadequate thus far. If anyone knows of any 
breeders who  may be able to help me with this, that would be excellent too. All 
of you  have been so wonderful and helpful.
