Buying a puppy in a hurry is probably not a good plan ;) Lines need to be researched, and you need to do your homework with regard to the breed's requirements , etc.
Hope you eventually get a lovely pup

Yes you are definitely right but one other reason I want one asap is that it took my husband a long time to give into having a dog as we often go camping and pets are not always welcome. I don't want to wait too long as he might change his mind! And in my opinion if no pets are allowed I'm not interested as it seems to me that today there are more and more caravan parks that do welcome pets!
I did quite a lot of research on what type of dog we would like and the bottom line is that it has to be small and does not shed hair.
