[quote=Anonymous]Yes, puppies are a lot of work. It takes about 2 years for most dogs to fully outgrow puppyhood, and many don't have full brains until around 5. You have a very specific want--a purebred, older, trained dog. I would either a) Reach out to breeders and see if they are rehoming any retired show dogs (won't necessarily be trained obedience wise, but should at least be house trained!) or b) contact a service dog organization and ask about purchasing a failed guide dog (will be trained!) If you're open to looking at other breeds/mixes, check out petfinder and find a rescue that doesn't have requirements you can't meet. Then stalk them.[/quote]
