What breed? Has your dog had any unforseen behavioral or health concerns? Would you do it the same way if you could do it all over again?

We adopted a Boxer pitbull mix from the shelter about 8 years ago. Zero issues

Shih Tzu. He's great, but you can definitely tell he was hit a lot before because he's scared of every person

Adopted dogs normally have less health issues (Mutts vs. Purebreds)

The irony is that many of today's "designer" dogs are mutts anyway

We spent $40, and you can take them back if they don’t work for you
