Waiting a year for a dog is just not that big a deal. Often breeders plan ahead and a good six month wait is common.
I'm very sorry that your dog adopted from the ASPCA died so very soon. That is truly tragic. But comments such as "and they put ME through a background check?),?" are harmful for the concept of adopting dogs. All three of my puppies were adopted - I also just adopted a 6 + year old cat. And they're all great - 13 years, 9 years and 2 years.
Th monks seem to be very no-nonsense. Their instructions are sound, though perhaps a tad too narrow at times.
Although I love my dogs greatly, I see no problem in being on a "waiting list" for a specific breed. And, yes, they will absolutely check your background before you can even consider getting one of their puppies.
