The best time to build trust and affection with a dog is around 3 months of age; an older puppy needs more time to bond and accept its owner. However, a 6-month-old dog has a stronger immune system and is usually already vaccinated, making it easier to raise.
As long as the owner is attentive and confident they can help the dog gradually accept them, raising a 6-month-old puppy can still be a good choice.
