I think she just touched the surface. Although the kennels they showed were bad, I have seen some that were much worse in the news. I think they should have put some of them in the show for a bigger shock factor.

I just read in the paper this morning that a shelter in a little town near us just euthanized 17 dogs because there was a parvo outbreak. This shelter just opened in late February. This is all so sad.

We have bought 2 dogs from the shelter years ago. This was the local city pound and they weren't picky about any other animals your might have or the fact that you may have kids. I didn't buy my Yorkie from the pound. Truth be told I will never buy a dog from a rescue. They will NOT let me adopt becuase I have a 10 year old daughter AND a German Shepherd. I also think that they charge way to much for some of their animals too. I also wanted a particular breed and you can't always find that in a shelter.
The 2 dogs that we adopted years ago were older yet healthy dogs. One was a chow mix and had aggression issues. The other one was a St.Bernard/Golden Ret mix and he was just plain dumb. He was a sweet dog but had the brains of "Goofey" LOL THe chow mix died of old age and the St.Bernard mix died of cancer. In my area there are plenty of big dogs for adoption. If you are looking for a small dog then you will have a very hard time. I think it is great if you can find what you want at a shelter.if you can't then there is nothing wrong with finding a reputable breeder.
