When people think about getting a dog, most often the choice falls on a puppy.
However, the option of getting an adult dog also has its advantages.
Pros and cons
Surely a small dog makes you feel cute. And even if an adult animal is not so cute, you will have fewer problems with its upbringing.
In particular, an adult dog is most likely already accustomed to walking, a collar and a leash. But in the case of a puppy, you will have to go through this path from the very beginning.
In addition, an adult dog will no longer grow, and therefore it will be easier to assess what it needs and you will not have to replace these accessories, as when a puppy grows.
At the same time, if an adult dog needs a new home, this most often means that its life was associated with traumatic experiences. And this, in turn, could leave an imprint on its character and behavior.
In addition, it is necessary to take into account that if the dog is old, you will have to deal with problems with its health.
