There are many good reasons to adopt, but I don't think cost is one of them.

I agree with you 100%.
Saying a rescue is better is an Animal Rights thing. They don't want anyone buying from any breeder anywhere. However, where would you get purebreds without breeders?
If you want a quality purebred dog, one where the breeder is there for you, buy a puppy from a reputable breeder who does health testing.
And didn't Taylor come from a well respected reputable breeder? Will your next corgi be a rescue Michael?
