You lost me there...who should not get the dogs back because some of them would kill the animals? I'm sorry I just don't understand. Could you clarify?
Also, does anyone know the statistics re shelter dogs? Are the majority of them from puppy mills and pet stores and what percentage come from reputable breeders? I would be very interested in knowing.
