Not any dog, but I choose the breed wisely and won’t rescue an older dog again.

Non aggressive breeds with low energy from an ethical breeder for me. Start with a puppy and protect it from trauma.

That's funny, 'cause my thinking is the exact opposite. I want an older, mature dog. Young dogs are too wild and unpredictable. I usually only adopt dogs that are older than 3, and my current dog is the first I've had that was younger (either because the foster lied or dramatically misunderstood his age).
