Hi there. I do not recommend this breed for anyone who is not an experienced dog owner, as in my experience they are often aggressive and difficult to manage even with good training and socialization. If your mom wants a dog for companionship, I would recommend a Labrador Retriever or Golden Retriever - both of these breeds are wonderful companion dogs, and are much less likely to have serious behavior issues to manage.
