Then you should now how it is to have a dog around, and the attention and care that they need. It's not completely new to you, so you shouldnt have that many surprises, lol. Only you know if your going to be able to make the sacrafices and take the time out to attend to this pup. If you believe you can, then go for it.
I've also always had dogs my whole life, sometimes 2 at a time. I've always had larger dogs though. So far the only difference I have noticed w/ my yorkie compared to the larger dogs is that certain things can harm him that won't harm a bigger dog. This weekend I took my yorkie to the vet for wheezing and snorting, and my mom rolled her eyes at me like "you actaully took him to the vet for that?" She didn't know that his trachea can collapse as a result of this. This is something that doesnt really happen w/ bigger breeds, but once I told her then she understood. But just like any other breed, all breeds are different.
Oh and you have to watch wear you step because their soo small, lol. Good luck!!!
