This is probably one of the most unlikely places you will or should go to get a dog. Think about it: How much does your friend know about breeding dogs? Maybe he has great fashion sense, hangs out with cool people, has a great job and family, but what does he really know about dogs?

You also have to ask yourself, “Is my friend really good to his dog? Did he read up on what to do with a pregnant dog? Did they go to their veterinarian and get his or her advice? Do I like my friend's dog? Have I spent enough time with that dog to know whether or not I like it?”

Perhaps your friend found a stray and is trying to find it a pleasant home. This is more common than you think. If this is the case, make sure to ask as many questions as you can. Try not to be moved by the sad story. You need to find yourself a dog that you can live with for a long time. In short, real friends won't try to sell you a dog you don't need. Think about the person who's trying to give you the dog as well as about the dog itself.
