If they need to peddle pups on puppyfind.com they have no business selling dogs. If the dog was worth a damn they would keep it or at the least keep it close to keep an eye on its growth, selling to anyone with the $$ almost always assures they are just peddling junk.

Tell her if she wants a pet to go to a rescue. HugaBull or something. It'll be cheaper in the long run because pups from rescues have all shots, microchipped and are spayed or neutered.

It does look a bit furry. Is it registered? You can get registered dogs through rescues too.

Take her to a shelter and show her the hundreds of dogs dieing because she wants one from a byb who will be the (indirect) reasoning behind probably hundreds more dogs being killed in the years to come. Have you even seen the dog in person? You DO NOT buy puppies sight unseen simply because they look cute in a picture. What if that animal is wormy, has since contracted parvo,is a mix and had deformed feet. Cant tell it from the picture. Not to mention you cannot tell tempermant or socialization with a picture. I know once you catch the puppy bug it seems like you got to have this one right now.....but you dont. Slow down, look at pups in person from reputable breeders and determine exactly what it is you want. This is possibly going to be a 15 year companion who can cost you thousands in extra homeowners insurance, could cause you to be run out of town because of BSL, and need hour after hour of attention every day for the rest of its life. Why would you go through all that over something you are not sure you want. Would you buy a house based on a picture of the driveway only? For all your going to possibly go through with this dog it only makes sense (to me) you pick the best damn dog you can....and not just one being whored out on puppyfinder.com by a cute picture!

I know what you guys are saying. And I agree. But like I said its not me its her. The only way I can talk her out of it is asure her its not full blooded. Thats bout the only way.

It looks like a mix to me. It doesnt even look like a pit bull mix. It looks more like a border collie, retriever than anything. I would NOT buy that dog I would wait and look at good breeders or a rescue.
