Second, I would suggest you finish all business with him before taking on additional responsibility of two new puppies. I also don't understand how someonw can sell you two puppies and then you are able to turn around and sell one. I also doubt this breeder is actually moving to a new state. BYB's use this excuse to sale quickly and cheap because they know buyers will not follow up with them. It's a con by too many BYB's and Brokers.

Third, your friend should deal with purchasing her own puppy herself. No reputable breeder would sell their puppies like this. It shows they do not care about the welfare of their dogs future. I'm not saying you'd be a bad puppy mom, I am saying that this breeder is a bad breeder and if they will sell like this, they probably aren't breeding very healthy puppies to begin with.

I do wish you would think about this and consider that if you haven't put a deposit down you still have the option to back out and wait until you have a more relaxed situation to bring a new puppy in. And you can find a better breeder who is not pressuring you with the con game of them moving as well.
