Yes Moocher
Like you I wouldn't want an adult dog ,even though I might feel sorry for them you just don't know what you are getting the only exception would be if I knew the dog well already like if it was a relations or friends .
Other than being dragged to prison kicking and screaming there is know way I would ever let a dog go, good or bad .
Luckily though I never had a world beater I never had a bad dog so far touch wood.
If your mate has a male pup going in the near future I would be interested, roughly what part of the world is your mate in north ,south ,England ,Sco
