Home Forums Birds & Dogs Hunting Dogs Too old to get a pup?

One thing about being old you usually are retired and have a lot more time to spend with your pup. Downside is that they can tie you down and can be a drain on a limited income(I don't know your financial situation) no Medicare for dogs. I think only you can answer that question your asking. List all the advantages and disadvantages of having a pup and decide.

I'm 73 and have outlived a number of fantastic dogs, every time I lose one it gets harder and harder and after the last one I swore I wouldn't do it again, after three years with out one I'm starting to waver, the pain of losing him is starting to lessen. The last one was one of the greats being retired I spent all my time with him, one year he and I spent more time on the road hunting and fishing than at home with my wife.
