I didn't read this whole thread, but skimmed through most of the post. All I can say is WOW. People who put in long hard 3 hour days at a shelter are complaining about a responsible dog breeder.
I think it's misdirected anger. You guys need to be angry and shout at the people who are putting the dogs in the shelter, not people like Jason. That's just rude. I'm sure you're one of those types of people who thinks that just because they do community work it gives them the right be berate people like you have done in this thread.
And don't say that you have gone out and shouted at the people who put animals in shelters, because there are so many people that you'd be shouting at them while I type this. Dogs being in shelters is a fact of life. That's why there are shelters. DOGS DIE. That's the way the circle goes. Yes, it's sad that they have to be put to sleep because of some idiot who got caught up in the moment, but so what. If you spend so much time in a shelter as you have said, you would learn that it's part of the world.
I don't understand why you're trying to preach to people that we need to adopt dogs from the shelter when the economy is so bad that people who normally do adopt have stopped.
You may claim that you don't care what people think of you, but the cold hard fact is you're a human being. Unless you're a psychopath, which I doubt you are, you care.
Honestly, I'm so tired of hearing about dogs in shelters. I want to hear more about the reptiles that are abused for YEARS on end. But of course, we have idiots like you who think that just because dogs are furry and cuddly they should make headlines. (I'm not trying to say that we should forget about the dogs, I just think it's already a well known fact and it's being beaten into the ground while other animals are being overlooked.)
