Lizz07.. Very good point! i never thought of it like that. althou i still would like a younger dog. this is my first time as an adult buying a dog on my own. and i really want it to be around for awhile. i was almost tempted to apply to adopt a 7 yr old yorkie.. but when i thought about it.. thats a difficult thing to take on.. taking the chance you might only have this dog around for 5 years.. but maybe i should consider keeping my eyes open to a little older.. maybe 3 and under.. you made a good point.. thanks!
