[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 430679, member: 3419"] Age four is the bare minimum for getting a dog, in my humble opinion. Although, we've had dogs all along, and I know how to deal with-them, but you sound like this would be your first experience. Definitely, an older lab is a good idea. Labs can attach to anyone--they are as disloyal as goldens, lol--they will love anybody. So they will fit in right away. But if you want a loyal dog, pick a different breed. However, a 5-yr-old should already be trained to go outside, come when called, all that sort of thing. I would get a leash and run the dog through his paces b4 making a decision. Also, be aware that you will have to take the dog out one last time at night, and 1st thing in the a.m., and exercise it in the day. Do you have a fenced yard? The dog will add to your chores but will add love, fun and antics. [/QUOTE]
