[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are eager to have a dog, but they're too young to grasp the responsibilities involved. Should I allow them to get one now and take care of it myself, hoping they'll take over as they grow older? Or should I wait for them to better understand what it would entail?[/quote] We adopted our dogs in our late 20s prior to having kids because we are bleeding heart dog people. The dogs are our dogs and we take care of them. If I had wanted my kids to actually take care of our dogs (feed, walk, schedule and take to vet visits, provide training, etc.) I would have waited until my children were 13+ and probably older.
