One more thing to add- I've found that going through the puupyhood definitely doesn't guarantee a bond. I got my first yorkie, Gracie at 8 wks (too young I know but didn't know then). She could not have been a more loved and babied puppy. She went everywhere with me, I held her and fussed over her constantly. Guess what? She never bonded with me. She has always preferred my husband. It broke my heart until I got Sugar.
So I guess my point is, getting your girl older is a good thing. You know more about her personality and don't have to worry about surprises.
