and here is more from the same person still dealing with and negotiating the behaviors produced by traumatic life this dog has been through.

I think for many we figure, well so what if they are bred in mass quantity? They go out to the stores and everyone loves a cute puppy, and they'll get adopted and go to good homes. Well, I ask you, what about the mamas and papas of these cute little puppies? It would be my guess that Annie, the dog in this link, was one of the dogs who was used to breed. She is an older dog who has been horribly neglected and has never seen the outside world. So sad, and so the reason NOT to support pet stores who sell cute little puppies. There are so many Annie's out there in the world being used to mass produce without any consideration to her happiness or health. People are sick. Basically factory farming, but for domestic animals. Ugh!
