Hello

[Pointer]

Oh I see sorry for being so thick.

Ive said next pointer will be a rescue!  Bought Jasper as a puppy, which I feel bad for, but I wanted to do the puppy bit.

But Ive said to my partner next will be a rescure, we went to Burghley last year just before getting Jasper, and we met loads of pointers, all of what seemed to be rescue, they seem to be very miss understood

I wouldnt be without mine

Pointer there's nothing wrong with getting a puppy, don't feel bad!

IMO as long as you are dilligent in choosing a breeder and raising your puppy you are not in any way at fault - it's people that don't think things through that cause the rescue build up. 

I've had lots of rescue doggies and all have been lovely, Oscar is a treasure, but I also want the opportunity to have a puppy from scratch one day, from a good breeder.

Suz, it is sad as I had a nice spot to offer to a dog from MT and I was disappointed they wouldn't even consider me, but I guess they have their reasons.   I got my dog from dogs trust in the end, they're a bit more flexible which I think is good.
