Personally, I think it is totally up to each person to decide what kind of dog they want, and how much they want to spend on the dog. If a person feels strongly about having a rescue dog, then that is what they should do, and if they want to buy a purebred puppy, then that is okay too.
Buying a purebred dog does not mean that you should feel guilty about not getting a shelter dog, any more than you should feel guilty about eating your dinner when there are hungry children in the world. Whether you have your dinner , or go hungry, it is not going to change their world one bit.
The same with the dogs. Until irresponsible people stop letting their dogs breed and have unwanted puppies, there are going to be dogs in the shelters and dog pounds.
If you want to make a difference, help someone pay for having their dog spayed or neutered.
