This is an email I sent to the Today Show, who's guest, a Kennel Club representative, just suggested that the best place to get a dog from was the breeder, that there weren't really that many "purebreds" in shelters because the kennel club did such a good job of rescuing.
IDIOTIC CHIT!!!
If you are so persuaded, write them yourselves?

Please tell her to educate herself before she makes inane comments that might dissuade people from going to shelters to adopt. FORTY PERCENT of all dogs killed at shelters are "purebreds". Maybe she seeks to line her pockets by suggesting people go to breeders but that public exposure just condemned hundreds of dogs to death.
petfinder.com is the best place to adopt, NOT a breeder wanting to make money.
