If Elsie were being honest, she didn't quite understand his logic, but it needn't make sense to her if he was already decided on the matter. "Ah well," She was mildly surprised to hear he'd done some research; it was a subject Elsie hadn't done much reading on herself, she'd just gotten lucky with Dora. "I'm not overly familiar, Dora was a street pup we took in." She gave her mutt a scratch behind her ears.

"My brother-in-law owns the store, I could see if he's around for a more expert opinion?" Philip would certainly know what pup would suit best. Each breed likely had traits that were more or less the same across the board, but Elsie also rather thought that you could get just about any temperament in a pup regardless of their breed. "She's incredibly sweet and well-mannered, we think she has some kind of shepherd in her." Other than that they weren't terribly sure.
