We got my first dog from the local Humane Society. A short while later, she was dead from distemper. My parents, not wanting their children to lose another pet that way, opted to get our next dog from a reputable breeder. Overall, I think shelters are a little riskier as far as the dog's health and temperment, but you can mitigate those risks by doing your homework first.
