“If you really want a dog that will be good with a family, you should try to get a puppy so that it grows up and becomes socialized with the family, but there are no guarantees… A puppy isn’t necessarily a blank slate, but it’s more of an unknown slate.” [8:50]

“You can get a great dog from rescue, but you cannot be an impulsive shopper.” [17:50]
