OK about this whole situation.. I couldnt be bothered to read all of it because its so predicatable with the whole arguement thing so I'll just say my bit here..
If your dog is ill he/she NEEDS to be priority, if they have tumours then get them checked out and no you couldn't of prevented them and it was a stupid thing for that PTer to say in the first place.. You have three dogs from what i can see? if you are just thinking ahead then yeah fantastic, I have done some research on the breeds I want in the future but I wouldn't dream of adding to my pets knowing they were getting older and would most probably need extra vet care due to old age problems. I wouldnt want the stress of a puppy hanging about my older dog either, I think they should be as comfy as possible in their old age without the need to feel they need to compete for attention with a puppy because lets face it, When you add to your family the new addition gets the most attention even if its for a while your dog picks up on it.. We found that out the hard way and although I love my dog to pieces I reget the way we done it.
