Well even rescues get it wrong sometimes - dogs bounce back, or they are put into situations where they have to be rerescued. One rescue we visited in our quest for a chihuahua turned out to be taking dogs from an (at the time) well known puppy farm. To me they were simply enabling the puppy farm to carry on with no consequences to them at all. Another offered us a dog and just as we were leaving someone turned up who actually owned the dog and it turned out the dog had been stolen.
So chances of us making a mistake is quite large IMO
So we will still to going to a breeder where we can check who they are and have a reasonable idea if they are genuine.

Name one that will rehome to a flat because that is the only thing we have to mention before they say no way despite having had dogs for over 30 years who have all lived happily and as healthily as they could.

Why not visit or contact someone from a Rescue and talk?
Alternatively you can go on a big UK Rescue site which has a section for homes offered.
The Dogsey software will take out the link so pm me for the web address or google dog pages.
