Default Anyone see AARP's magazine?

The below is from a local newsletter. Can it be true? Before I dip my
poison pen, can someone verify it's really there?
Senior citizens earning extra cash as dog-breeders??!!

The latest issue of AARP, the magazine for retirees, suggests spending
your tax refund on a puppy from a breeder, not adopting from a shelter
or rescue.=A0 It further suggests that you can make money by breeding
the dog.=A0 So bypass the adult or senior and go for the puppy, this
from a magazine which=A0purports to extol the virtues of older
persons.=A0 -Carol (See the article below)

BRING HOME A BEST FRIEND FROM A BREEDER
(see note above) A puppy's floppy ears and oversized paws won't just tug
at your heartstrings. A pooch can provide companionship and encourage
you to exercise.=A0 You could get a pup free at the animal shelter, but
you won't be sure if you'll have Toto or Marmaduke when the dog matures.
If you want specific characteristics, consider a thoroughbred. You'll
pay $750 to $1,500 or more for a pure-bred dog. Spring for one with
great bloodlines and champion ancestors, and he may even earn a few
bucks occasionally; stud fees range from $250 to $750.=A0 Now's a great
time to buy, as many breeders time their litters to arrive in the
spring, says breeder Linda Ciocci of New Haven, Connecticut. Also, it's
easier to train a puppy with lots of warm weather ahead.=A0 While at the
breeder's, spend time with the pup's parents (the mother, at least) and
siblings to see how the breed behaves, advises Gail Miller, a
spokesperson for the American Kennel Club in New York City.=A0 Three
gentle, easy-to-train breeds: the Portuguese water dog (active and won't
shed), the Yorkshire terrier (small and intelligent), and the greyhound
(mellow and large). See dogbreedinfo.com or the American Kennel Club's
website for info
