Make sure you tell her that isn't a pit while you are at it

Maybe you can break down the COST of HAVING puppies for her? Vet bills (which I would hope they would do), food for pregnant Mom and later food for pups.
Are they thinking of breeding the big head -blue dog with the one wearing the pink collar?
And "blue-nose" is a color, not a breed.

I think the situation is unfortunate, this is why you should be allowed to pass a test in order to own intact animals. Just because the parts are there doesn't mean they should be used.

X-ray, 70$, or ultrasound (ideally), 200$, to check how many pups are in there, to have an idea of what's going on/is there one left in there?? if she gives birth at home.
Puppy food, which mama needs when in gestation.
Let's say things go wrong...
Emergency consultation, week end or after 11pm: 120$
Emergency c-section ***for a CAT (which would be much cheaper, as anesthesia is by size) on Easter Sunday*** : 1500$, plus all fees after the surgery, and potential care for the puppies if in distress.
Mama may lose some or all her pups, or mama may die/be in critical shape and stay in the hospital for a few days.
If everyone makes it ok...
Puppy visit, for each puppy: 50$
Base vaccine, to have 3 boosters (ok, she wouldn't be doing all 3, but she may have to!) is 16$ x 3, per puppy.
Deworming, 3 months worth per puppy: 15$
That's a lot of money. Just sayin'... And I'm sure anybody whos had a litter can comment on more fees, and your mental state when you have 2 adult dogs and 5-6 puppies running around!

American Bullies are still being registered as pit bulls but they are turning into a completely different breed. Different structure, different stamina, my girl can't run around the block without a coronary, not to mention her not being very proportionate. They take the athelete out of the dog, trying to make it look more muscular. All I can think of, is that my Panser is a Power lifter version of what pit bulls are supposed to look like. And she can't get out of her own way. UKC sees them as the same dog on papers but in reality they will be their own breed if the direction keeps going 'bigger is better'
check out the AM Bull or Pit Bull thread. I have one of each, not on purpose mind you, so its easier for me to see the difference. Structurally, and physically.
And what's with this 'gotty blood line " she talks about???
I just smile and nod my head........
