Well, I can at least put one argument to rest right here; the dog in question will not be a rescued dog. Our two poodles are both rescued poodles and were 1yr. and 2yrs. when we got them (they are now 4yrs. and 5yrs.). It's like having perpetual infants in the house. They are both loving, sweet, happy, playful little girls, but they are UNTRAINABLE! Whatever happened to them before we got them makes them cower in sheer terror whenever we attempt any training. The only training we've taught them is "sit" and walk on a leash. They are housebroken if they feel like it, so they have to spend the day together in our kitchen.
The next one will be a puppy with papers.
And thanks a googleplex for the other advice.
