Not often discussed, however, is how responsible breeding is precisely what keeps breeds healthy and their lines present in the first place. If we didn't have responsible breeders, entire breeds would disappear, and the ones we do have would be a lot less healthy and structurally sound - and a lot less happy because of it. Breeders are the ones keeping lines from inbreeding by mating specific dogs from different lines (even across continents) and thinking of the health and wellness of the breed through careful selection and care, on top of many other things, including temperament guiding and testing to make sure you get the right dog for your family. It is very important to support these breeders, as most of them usually just break even for the work that they do. Of course, irresponsible breeding is to be condemned—but it is unbelievably frustrating to me to see proper breeding shoved into the same corner as puppy mills—particularly by people chastising me on the internet for not adopting and "supporting unethical breeders" which is simply untrue. Always make the choice that is best for you, your finances, your emotional health, and your family's well-being, keeping in mind that adopting is desperately needed, as is maintaining healthy, well bred lines. TL;DR: Recognizing the merits of proper breeding is as imperative as recognizing the need to adopt. Not to do so is factually incorrect, unfair, and ignorant.
