Dogs Question

Considering adoption-Please help

I'm considering adopting a 12 year old Chihuahua. (At least, the humane society thinks he's 12) He cam in as a stray, his discription says he's a sweetheart. Can anybody tell me anything about an older chihuahua's temperament? I've already researched it (Dogs 101, ect), but are they calmer or have different personalities with age? And how well do you think he would get along with other dogs?

update: we went to go meet him, and he was fairly shy, but he was a sweetie. We were still deciding, then I checked the website and it said he was adopted. In a way I was dissapointed that we didn't get him, but at least he found a good home :)

That all completely depends on the dog itself. Some dogs get calmer as they get older, some get more high strung, and some don't change at all. If a dog doesn't get along well with other dogs, that generally isn't going to change as they get older (and vice versa).

My advice would be to see if the humane society will let you spend time with him alone, and let you bring other dogs to visit before you adopt him.
