To think this kid has been photoshopped

[Flymetothetoon]

Onto the photo to give the appearance that the dog is not on a puppy farm?
Other photo on the add shows the dog with puppies in a barn style setting with a heat lamp.

The child's index finger also looks quite blurry

It looks dodgy to me. The child is huge compared to the dog - labs aren't that big!

As an aside, that doesn't look like a Labrador.

That dog does not look like a good example of the breed . Looks in poor shape

Yes, looks dodgy as feck.

The child looks like one of those Born Again dolls.

The light is all wrong and the proportions are wrong. I'd say it is a very badly done PS.

Dog looks unhappy :(

There are some weird adverts on that site right now.
Check this one out:
www.pets4homes.co.uk/classifieds/2712990-cockapoo-girl-for-sale-12-months-walton-on-thames.html

£4800 for a one year old Cockapoo, who the fmaily sadly can't keep cos they've moved house! Yeah, right!
Rehoming your one year old dog for a profit is not on!

Definitely photoshopped.

Looks weird to me. I grew up with dogs, and there's no way my parents would have let me fiddle around with their tails.

Bad lighting, bad photo, and rubbish camera, but it does not look photoshopped (looked at the ad pic). Doesn’t mean it’s not a puppy farm though...

It doesn’t look photoshopped at all to me. Probably a case of perspective - or maybe an older toddler with short hair, my eldest had short hair when she started school!

The grass is fake hence no indent where the feet are.

Not disputing the fact that this may be a puppy farm, which is deplorable, but a bit low to be slagging off a toddler’s appearance

It does look weird to me

That dog does not look happy. As a PP said, doesn't look 'stunning' to me at all - looks a bit overweight and possibly not like a pure Lab.

Yeah it's not very convincing

2K for a Labrador?? Madness. That advert screams puppy farm to me and the poor English in the description would put me off too.

Does the dog have a strip of fur missing at the top of her back and bald patches further down, or is she filthy? I hope it's just her colouring but it looks weird :(

I don't think it's photoshopped, and lots of registered good breeders keep their puppies like that. Both my pedigree dogs from award winning studs(the breeders were both judges of high esteem) have been raised in heated kennel blocks attached to the houses, especially working dog types, and the puppies still spent lots of time indoors.
However, that is an extremely poor labrador and you'd have to be blind to pay money for one of the pups.

The kid looks weird, almost doll-like (probably because of different light source in the original pic)
And yes, the dog would normally be looking at the kid touching it's tail, not the camera.

I've noticed the ridiculous prices too!
All the dogs we've owned over the years have cost under £200 from rescue kennels.

That poor dog doesn't look healthy.

Some of the prices people are looking for pups just now is atrocious, I'm on a group for the breed and have seen people refer to adverts where the breeders are asking up to 4.5k for a Labrador. They're either greedy bastards, or they're off their heads. Maybe both.

So to avoid being registered you are only allowed three litters a year? £14,000 per litter £42,000.....I'm clearly in the wrong job

I work with photoshop and I would suggest it isn't. If you look at the hair around the crown of the child's head and the fringe it is very fine and it is really difficult to cut that out, which is why you quite often get photoshopped people looking like they have lego hair as the edges are too sharp. I would suggest the photo lighting has been played with to make the dogs coat look more red, and then the whole thing gas been brightened which has made the child look luminescent!

Agree, it all looks a bit dodgy though, not the photo I would have used to show off the dog.

When I was looking for a dog after I lost my old Lab, someone had Lab X GS puppies for £450.
(This was before the days I was wise to what Pets4Homes is like) I offered less, she said ‘but they’re a Shepherdor’ or some shit.
I said ‘there’s no such thing, they’re just a random mixed breed’
She wouldn’t take a lower offer, I still wonder if she actually sold them for £450.

I don't know if it's photoshop but the mucky trackies would put me off.

No I don't think it looks photoshopped, but that doesn't mean they're not running a puppy farm. People who run puppy farms have no morals, so I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem with using their own child, or someone else's child as a prop in their sales pictures.
