Puppys v.s. adults

Question
Dear Susan,
    I'm 13 years old and am finally allowed to get my own dog! We have two dogs of our own, an nine year old dachshund and a three year old border collie cross. I would like a puppy so I could be with it through its whole life, but I also would like to get an adult dog.
    I have been doing research but I'm not sure what age I would like to get... could you could help me out? I would appreciate if you could give me some benefits of having on having a puppy or adult. I also was open to getting an older dog, but resent experiences have told me and can't handle death well. So I would like to have a longer time with my dog.
    Please help me out,
Thanks
-April

Answer
April,

That is personal preference.  All ages of dogs are special, it depends on what you put into owning a dog.  Young dogs need a lot of training as where older dogs may need special medical care.

Any age you choose will be great.
I like puppies myself because I great to train them.
