Oh, I know that.
I'm sorry if I came across that you can't have as tight of a bond with a dog you get that is older. My step-mom adopted her dog when he was a little over a year and their bond is incredible. I more or less meant that where he was (in the city of Baltimore, in a little rowhouse, not really being socialized properly), I was glad to have him 3 weeks earlier and just begin the process. Not to mention my boy was also already a hefty 5lbs at that point (9 weeks)
I do understand why tinier dogs would be kept longer.
