| Buying an Older Dog Puppies are undeniably cute. However, as anyone who has ever raised a puppy knows, these little bundles of joy can be as labor intensive as a small child. If you've been searching for a canine companion, but are not sure you have the time, energy and patience it takes to properly train a puppy, consider the advantages of adopting an older dog. Convenience. Training a puppy means starting at ground zero;adult dogs will not have to be fed or taken outside as often as a younger one, and can be left alone for longer periods of time. The older the dog, the more independent they can be. Adult dogs often make great companions for older people, who don't have the stamina to keep up with a young, energetic dog. With an older dog you know what you're getting in terms of size, physical appearance, health and temperament. There is no way to know whether the tiny puppy you adopt today will be 90 pounds of hard-to-manage dog a year from now, or if he will shed constantly or fall victim to a genetic disease. An older dog has already gone through the destructive phases of adolescence and puppy-hood, and will most likely be more focused and self-disciplined. Can you teach an old dog new tricks? Sure. In fact, older dogs have a longer attention span, and often give more recognition to their trainers than puppies and young dogs do. Before heading to the nearest puppy kennels in search of your next companion, take a moment to ponder the possibilities of an adult dog. I once adopted an almost three year old male poodle. He had been a stud dog in a kennel all of his life. He became my house dog. He was housebroken in two weeks and was one of the most wonderful house dogs that I have ever owned. He left a big empty place in my heart and home when he passed away at 16 years of age. I'll never forget little "Trinket". |
