Ok - so, there are benefits to both scenarios.
Having known a couple of breeders, I've seen it done right: Socialized, happy puppies one litter at a time that get to spend time with their mother until they're adopted. These breeders are more common than one might think. It's an essential supplimental income for many families. Adopting an animal from this sort of a breeder is an excellent option.
This said, my family has only ever adopted critters from rescue organizations or animal shelters. We have always walked in and grown incredibly attached to one or another of the little guys. I imgine that if we ever didn't feel that attachment and still wanted a pet, we'd go for a breeder.
