I think they're going to forget about a breeder and find a classified puppy. I told them the reasons why they shouldn't mind driving and her answer was: "It's not the distance itself, it's because Bobby is working six to seven days a week and he wants to come with me to pick it out. So it has to be a day trip or not from a breeder."
My friend herself works from home, so I guess the distance isn't a time issue for her, it's him.
