Hi! I am new here. I have the option of getting a 5mos old English Lab or 8 week old Lab. I realize there are pluses and minuses for each ages. It is a breeder her in MA. I have had goldens before so am familiar with sporting breeds. I am home all day. The 5mos old has never been on a leash, has not had any sort of training. I have seen him several times. I realize I am starting at the beginning with a 8 week so molding the behavior and at 5 mos of age molding and extinguishing some possibly bad behavior. I am 55 yrs old. Which would you get????
Hi Laura - welcome! What a tricky choice for you! This article might give you some ideas to help you choose between the pups. https://www.thelabradorsite.com/choosing-the-right-dog/ I'd be interested to know if both pups are with the same breeder, and what reason the breeder has given for the 5 month old being available? That would affect my choice, I think!
