As for the debate...if I may put my two cents in, if you get a young puppy to raise as your own, you will be able to teach him YOUR way of life. Dogs love to please their people. That doesn't mean they won't express their own will. But dogs have different personalities as people do.
This may sound odd, but while holding my 10 minute old daughter, I knew instantly that I loved her enough to die for her. But my thought was, "Will I like her?" Then I decided the type of person she grows into is up to me and her mom. A puppy will grow into the dog you raise it to be.
