Agree on both counts, CFrance. No slamming here.
I love big dogs. I used to have Mastiffs. I never had a truly big one. But a son of my female was a 230 pound gentle, lovable beauty.
And I don't think loving rescues and pure-breds are mutually exclusive. I hope my next dog is a rescue. But the certainty of a registered dog has its merit, as you've so aptly described.
