Let me tell you this. As someone who helps with a rescue group, not every one is a good fit for a Rescue Dog, based on one of many factors. I would never, ever put anyone down for purchasing from a Reputable Breeder.
I myself have purchased (3 Yorkies and I also have adopted 9 Yorkies, 4 of those being from Puppymill Rescue).
The way you keep preaching and shoving this issue down people's throat is not doing any good at all.
