When you get a puppy from a breeder, you don't always know what you're getting into personality-wise. If he checks the adult dogs at rescue groups or shelters, he may find just what he wants in a mixed breed. There are several pure breds that would meet his qualifications, but I feel he'd be taking a chance with a puppy because you can't always tell their temperaments when they're really young.

That's just my opinion though.
