SALTWOOD Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Personally I can't see why anyone would be concerned about getting an older puppy. I have both bought and sold older pups and more often than not the older pup will settle in way quicker than the 8week old. After all a pup of 16 weeks has got all his brain functions happening which is more than you can say for the 8week old. An older pup can more readily understand what you are expecting of him. In my case when I sell an older pup, it will always be socialised and have attended puppy preschool so the buyer is getting the benefit of all the extra training I give them. If I had a choice of buying a 8 week old or a 12-16week old (everything being equal) I would go for the older pup. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BT-Argo Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi Saltwood Thats exaclty why i decided to go for an older pup cause i thought it would settle in easier and it will also be easier for me as its my first puppy. He is now nearly 18 weeks old.. i will know if i am getting him by end of next week :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SALTWOOD Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) That's wonderful! I am sure you will be delighted with him! Actually about 1/3rd of my puppy enquiries are for older puppies or adult dogs because some people just don't want to go through all the hassles of training a baby puppy.
