Funny I was just thinking of this today walking Charlie.
He is turning 3 in January and behaves rowdily, still very much like a pup. He does not do his walk very well. I had tried many ways of training. Just got house trained. As I said I dealt with the puppy period for 3 years. Chewed up my leather sofa(couple of holes).He just stop chewing now. Dug up my lawn, I spent $$$ on it, now I have flag stones, so no more digging. Wrong, He just dug a hole on the other side for no reason. The potty training....ah, I'm glad I still have my hair!
Not to mention getting up in the middle of the night taking him out to the yard in the cold when he was small.
So I thought perhaps if I had gotten an adult beagle, maybe he will be more matured. I didn't have to do all that! Just hoping Charlie will grow out of those mischievous acts.
My other dog just passed on last year. I got him when he was 4 or around there at SFSPCA. He was a wonder dog! No chewing, house trained, faithful as ever.
Of course, there are pros and cons, so perhaps you can weigh everything been said by our BW members. Good luck what ever you choose.
