To think this kid has been photoshopped

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.

You lot are a lot more observant than me!

I originally posted this because the child in the photo looked too large and almost see through.

I never noticed mucky hands/clothes and wonky brickwork!

Unless anyone has reported the ad then maybe the advertiser is a mner??

I reported it, p4hs emailed when it was removed

I have reported one particular advertiser on there who changes puppies and sob stories weekly. A vast variety of breeds she is selling 'oddments' of. I get alerts now when her ads go on and I report them.
It's truly heartbreaking and bloody infuriating...

@Windyatthebeach that's just terrible. Name and shame them here?

@OpenWheelRace they got so expensive during lockdown. Lots of people thought it was the perfect time to get a puppy without having to take time off and due to demand unethical breeders realised they could charge what they wanted and the puppies would sell. As I said above even at £6k puppies are getting snapped up. Around here dog thefts have been on the rise as well. Rescues will be inundated as people go back to work and realise a dog doesn't fit with their normal lifestyles.

To me the little girl isn't actually looking at anything in the picture.

flibbertmygibbert · 02/06/2020 07:58

Doesn’t look photoshopped to me. But does look like a bit of a badly bred/kept dog. Scruffy man and child. Wouldn’t be my first choice of breeder. My child is super pasty white and she looks like this in photos against the rest of us. She’s basically see through!

SurfnTerfFantasticmissfoxy · 02/06/2020 08:02

Who knows but that's one of the worst labs I've seen

e1y1 · 02/06/2020 08:06

No way is that a Labrador

They look like this

Poor dog 😥

InkogKneeToe · 02/06/2020 08:08

Looks like a fairly poor Labrador in terms of breed description anyway. Looks more like lab x golden retriever

Yerroblemom1923 · 02/06/2020 08:12

It's v dodgy! The bloke wearing dirty joggers and work shoes. The dog looks like its been photo shopped with an Alsation head and retriever ears?! I worry about the safety of a child in a house like this.

JollyAndBright · 02/06/2020 08:18

It doesn’t look photoshopped but I’m 100% sure that is not a purebred lab. (We have one and there are three others in our extended family so I feel I know enough to judge)

It’s legs look way to short, It looks like a crossbreed that’s inherited the lab face so they’ve thought they can pass it off as a purebred.

TwistyHair · 02/06/2020 08:25

Didn’t notice how large the toddler was until someone pointed it out. Monster child! And the lighting is all wrong. Dog looks stressed.

Ellisandra · 02/06/2020 08:33

@Yerroblemom1923 don’t worry about the child’s safety - that child has been nowhere near that poor dog!

MrsWednesdayteatime · 02/06/2020 08:38

The dog lead looks really grubby too,

Horrible to think that if the sellers think that photo shows them in their best light, then just how grim must it be behind the scenes

Handmaid2019 · 02/06/2020 08:41

Sorry but semen stains made me laugh Grin

Poor dog, hope she's okay. Worrying really as you'd think they would put the best picture of her on an advert.

Yerroblemom1923 · 02/06/2020 08:43

Ellisandra Grin it wasn't the dog I was worried about but the dodgy looking bloke!

Ellisandra · 02/06/2020 08:48

Sane comment though... that child’s photo is as likely lifted off the internet as actually being a child known to the grubby joggers animal abuser.

Thank goodness the OP is clued up and reactive about puppy farms!

Someone is buying those dogs though... shame on them Angry

ITonyah · 02/06/2020 08:50

I agree with a poster earlier who said the people who took this photo haven't got a clue about how to use photoshop. It's just a crap weird photo of a part bred lab used to churn out puppies. Poor old girl Sad

Lifeisconfusing · 02/06/2020 08:54

Yeah look at the brick. It’s absolutely shocking poor poor dogs. Makes me so angry people chafing there way in society.

Sadly there are a LOT of people who don't know much about dogs, haven't done any research and just want a puppy to 'show off'.

I used to have Border Collies (not breeding, dogs to work and pets). My friend decided she wanted a BC too (despite living in a small house in a city, whilst I lived in the country. She was a bit of a copycat, bless her). When I went to visit her she had a dog she'd been sold (as a puppy) as a Border Collie.

It was a Jack Russell. Well, part Jack Russell, god only knows what the rest of it was.

I ended up taking it home with me, as the dog was barking all day and being shut in a cellar to keep it quiet. Lovely dog, but, as terriers and terrier crosses are prone to be, a very 'barky' creature. Border Collie it most certainly was not...

AntiSocialDistancer · 02/06/2020 08:55

I know a fox red labrador, he's glorious.

That dog is a real cross breeding mut. How stumpy are those legs!! Grin
