You guys are right about missing out on the puppyhood-ness of a puppy. i got Kirby when he was might as well say 3years old. it was nice not having to potty train him an the chewing an whinny stages was over an blah blah but at the sametime i always wondered what he was like as puppy.

however adopting a puppy verses a older dog i kind of feel the older dog needs may need home more cuz lost of people are suckers for puppies an will take the puppy before even considering the adult dog.

*shrug* i guess for me it depends on the situation an of course the dog or puppy involved
