[quote=Anonymous]We recently lost our Lab and are considering our next dog. I'd ideally like to work through a rescue organization, but it seems that sadly so many of the dogs are older. We hope for a playmate for our DC's childhood. Have you adopted one or more older dogs? If so, how did you explain to your kids that Spot would only be with you for two or three years, and in the interim doesn't have the energy to play fetch or go on long hikes? Second question, the local lab rescue organization seems like it will only let families adopt if the kids are ten or older. I understand for liability reasons, but am starting to feel like working with a reputable breeder is going to end up being our best option.[/quote]
