Hi! Long time lurker, first-time poster.
Long story short, we've had to cancel our wedding. As a consolation, we're moving up our dog-searching plans by a couple of months! We've been talking about getting a dog for the majority of our relationship and are so excited to finally take the steps towards getting a standard poodle pup.
I've been having fun researching the breed and breeders (everyone that I've spoken with has been so kind and patient with my 2945739347 questions!). We're narrowing our search down to a fantastic breeder who has both older pups (6-months-old) and an incoming litter. Our decision right now is between one of the older pups and one from the new litter (when they arrive). We'd be more than happy with either but was hoping to see if we might get some experienced folks' input on what additional questions we should be asking ourselves when choosing between a (slightly) older puppy versus a younger puppy. Thank you for your help!
