Re: ok i need advice about a dog?
There are so many different reason why she might not want to take them....they could possibly have just been $$ makers to her and not pets so she feels no real attachment. If you want to take one...you should ask if she would mind if you take the dog to the vet 1st...so you know what you are getting yourself into. If she doesn't agree to that...then it seems like she is hiding something.

Re: ok i need advice about a dog?
I agree. take the dog tot eh vet.
It's entirely posisble that she just isn;t itnereste din breeding anymore, needs to find them a home quickly nad doens't expect to find anyone to take both and breed them. And aside from breeding purposes, it's hard to find a home for an adult dog, so maybe she's just happy to find them any home as quickly as posisble. Best of luck

A free frenchie?!? That's crazy!! Those dogs cost $2,000 easily. I would see how much she wants to give her away her 'free' dogs. If the offer is legit, I would jump on it. They make great pets and you would have no problems finding placement if you decided you didn't want him/her.

My Dad grew up with a free dog, a Puli. Pulik are VERY expensive dogs. Rightfully so, because Dad still says Robbie was the best dog he ever had. Anyway, I agree with Marymoon, take the dog to the vet to check them out. If the dog's healthy, take him/her.

I KNOW..my mom is buying one of the puppies for $2000..even though that is a secret..my stepdad doesnt know.. but thats what made it seem fishy to me..im just torn!!
