I asked ChatGPT about adult dogs.
How many days is a User
dog considered to be an adult dog?
The time it takes for a ChatGPT
dog to reach maturity varies by breed. Dogs are generally considered mature when they are over a year old, but maturity varies from individual to individual.
Small dogs (e.g. Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers) reach maturity at around 9-12 months of age. Medium-sized dogs (e.g. Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers) reach maturity at about 12-15 months of age. Large breeds (eg Dobermans, Rottweilers) reach maturity at around 15-24 months of age.
Keep in mind, however, that these are general guidelines and that individual differences may exist. Also, a dog's growth is important not only for physical maturity, but also for behavioral and socialization aspects.

of the dogs sold in Japan are puppies, but why aren't adult dogs sold?
ChatGPT
There are several reasons why many dogs are sold as puppies in Japan.
Owner Preference and Demand: Puppies are generally cute and have a cute appearance, which is why many owners tend to choose puppies. For this reason, breeders and pet stores sell puppies on demand.
The Importance of Socialization: It is important that dogs receive adequate socialization as they grow. Puppies should be able to bond with their owners and receive basic training and socialization while they are puppies. Therefore, they are often adopted by their owners when they are puppies.
Health checks: With puppies, it is easier for owners to check their dog's upbringing and health. When selling an adult dog, it is difficult to know the dog's past experience and health.
However, a certain number of adult dogs are also sold. In particular, it is possible to adopt adult dogs from foster parents and protection groups. When choosing an adult dog, it is important to understand the dog's background, temperament, and traits so that they can provide appropriate care and socialization.

US, what about UK?
ChatGPT
In the US and UK, puppies are the main dog sales, but a certain number of adult dogs are also sold.
In the United States, puppies are generally widely marketed. Many breeders and pet stores offer puppies of specific breeds. In addition, rescue groups and animal protection groups are also looking for foster parents for adult dogs, and it is possible to adopt an adult dog.
In the UK, some commercial breeders have been criticized for selling puppies. That is why in recent years the UK has tightened the law on the sale of puppies in an effort to limit the sale of puppies by commercial breeders. Instead, the emphasis is on adopting rescued dogs and encourages adopting and fostering adult dogs.
Adult dog sales depend on demand and breeder policies. With an adult dog, you get a better sense of the dog's background, personality, and traits, but you miss out on the early socialization and training opportunities that puppies do. It is important to consider the compatibility with the owner and the needs of the dog and make the right choice.
