My wife and I bought a dog from a breeder over a year ago, and we don't regret our decision in the slightest. We love our pet, and while it has been incredibly challenging to adjust to having her in our lives, we wouldn't dream of surrendering her to a shelter.
Of course everything in your post is absolutely heartbreaking, but it won't deter us from buying another dog again in the future. Like it or not, many people prefer purebreds over mixed-breed rescue dogs for a number of reasons. That doesn't mean we love animals any less than you do.
