Not that I'm defending the paper, but I think what they mean by 40% of dogs coming from family or friends is that the family and friends are backyard breeders, which they are. If I were to have one litter I would be a back yard breeder.
Then the 20% from shelters is not that shelters and rescues breed, but that 20% of people get their dogs from shelters/rescues.
