Is 13 a good age for us to adopt a puppy?

Answer 1

Age is not as important as the ability to care for the puppy. Even young children can show great leadership and caring qualities, which are a good start when it comes to raising a puppy. However, it is the adults in the home that need to be ready to invest the real time and energy. This includes teaching the children proper leadership skills, supervising children-dog interactions, being financially responsible for the animal, all the while training and exercising a young dog. Ultimately, the adult is the one who is accountable for the welfare of the puppy.

Answer 2

Do you mean that you're 13? Yes, I think so. You are old enough to help feed it, train it and walk it. As long as you feel that you can take some responsibility, I think it would be fine.
