- An older dog may be more suitable for adopters that prefer a less active dog, puppies are typically very energetic requiring a lot more attention.
- What you see is what you get! Older dogs are grown to full size and have already developed their personalities, temperaments, and physical characteristics. It is very difficult for our staff to determine what the full growth of your puppy will be in a year from now if it is a blend of breeds.
- A mature dog is less destructive and better focused having already gone through the adolescent stages of its life.
- Mature dogs have a better attention span making them great candidates for new tricks and further training.
