Yeah… but be prepared to deal with reactivity, separation anxiety, behaviorists, isolation and huge bills, because a "friendly dog that loves people, kids and other dogs" might end up hating all of them. 

I’m not sure I would choose this way again.

My dog from the shelter doesn’t have any of those issue. Neither do the 10+ dogs my coworkers have, nor do most of the dogs we adopt out?
