The situation I'm in I would get a fair pic not the pic of the litter but any after that, anything to small would not be passed on or kept. Friends are a great asset to have especially in the digging game. It' hard enough to buy my digging friends a pint. If I offered them cash for a pup whose parents I dig over week in week out I would come out the worst and a very sore man. I'l answer your question tho if I had the runt of one my buddy's bitches I'd take it before a pic of hear say stuff any day. As said on here many a time each to their own
