I'm sure it happens from the bad ones who don't socialize their puppies properly. But generally you'll be getting a very young puppy from a breeder compared to older dogs and puppies from adoption. They'll have an unknown, potentially bad past as well as you lose some training and socializing that they have when they're young.
I'm not trying to discourage adoption but you need to be aware of the dog you're getting.
