Bridget was an Amish puppy mill rescue - but I'm afraid I'm not of much help as I got her at 12 weeks so other than health issues, I don't know if she is any different than any other puppy. She has been a dream to pee-pad train, and we just love her to death. As far as health issues go - at this point she is really pretty healthy - other than just recently diagnosed with grade 2 LP. But I know nothing about her parents - so I don't really know what to expect.
So yes - from my own experience - I would do it again if it meant giving a puppy in need a good home, but if an older puppy was available, I'd certainly do my research, because if I were to attempt an older rescue I'd want to go in knowing everything I'm getting into. It would be awful if after a few weeks/months I found I wasn't prepared for what I had gotten in to and had to re-home it - once again.
