Another way to go is with the rescue dog. If you want a breed specific many unwanted purebreed dogs too.

I have two purebreed dogs which I hunt with. But I know the breed and wanted specific traits for my needs. And a loving dog which my are. the breeder I got my dogs with knew in the past I had the same breed and took 3rd at Nationals in the ring and competed in the field trials. The same breeder will not sell the dogs to anyone and does not even advertise
And yes you do need to match energy levels My dogs get an hour walk run in the am. and 1 plus hours in the evening
