[quote=Anonymous]No, it's not at all too young, [b]provided you're willing to do the work.[/b] Do some reading and research and really know what you're getting into. The trolls on this thread talking about how no reputable breeder or rescue would place a puppy in a home with children are full of the same nonsense as folks who say all Pit Bulls are violent, evil dogs. It's a stupid bias. You are a parent. You know your kid. If your kid is the zoom through the room, yell and party type, you'll probably want to hold off on a puppy. If your kid is the "look at that!" sit on the floor and observe type, a puppy can be a fine companion. You probably don't want a huge breed, nor a tiny, teacup, purse pet. But a mid-size shelter mutt could be a great friend, if you're willing to supervise, crate train, and raise your pet (and child) responsibly. A reputable breeder or rescue would know their dog(s) well enough to help you find a suitable match for your family. [/quote]
