I have a pure bred AKC aussie shepherd rescue. Over $1000 from a breeder. $60 from a rescue group. She just wasn't a puppy. The breeders got rid of her after she turned 3 because they were afraid the quality of her puppies would start to suffer. Fricking morons just in it for cash, not love.

Sorry, but you've been fed lines of shit.
The breeder did not get rid of her because the quality of her pups would go down after she turned 3. A three year old dog is just maturing and hasn't even hit her peak production age yet. Dogs with bad genetics, non desirable phenotypes, or poor maternal abilities get culled for financial and breed improvement reasons. Perhaps you found a bargain because of it, quit bitching about it and enjoy it.
The pet industry is a 50 billion dollar a year industry. Over two billion dollars in pets were purchased in 2013. Morons who breed pets for free and rescued dogs could never supply enough animals, or the right type, to feed the demand. I assume you work a job you get paid for, correct? Why the hell shouldn't the people in the pet industry be paid for their time as well?
