Oh gosh, that one drives me nuts! Trying to talk to a family about adopting an adult dog because they wanted a puppy, yet they wanted house broken and clam... Those are almost their exact words in response. -_-
I got this but it was "you'll never have a strong bond with them because you didn't get them as a puppy" ... Funny, my dog that I got at almost 4 years old must have missed the memo..
