Hi! Are you thinking about getting a puppy?

My husband and I always adopted older dogs around age 2 that were already potty trained. If you want to consider something like that you will be able to have an idea of their temperament before you bring them home.

When we got our 2 yorkie puppies we didn't realize how much work a new puppy was and experienced a lot of accidents in the house before they were potty trained. That took about 14 months of constant daily work to train them not to have accidents in the house. Something you might want to think about if you have toddlers running about. The time investment in potty training a puppy can be quite a bit. And then you have to be sure your home is puppy proofed so they don't swallow something or chew on a cord. Just something to think about.

I hope you pick the right dog for yourself and your family. And have fun looking!
