Today is 3 years since our dog died, aged 10. He's buried in our front garden and, despite getting a new dog who is the family's baby and absolutely adored, we all miss the first dog still. Both of our dogs have been pound puppies. We fostered the first one from the SPCA in HK so had him from 3 weeks. Our second dog was about 3 to 4 months when she was rescued. She is an absolute delight and our home is so much happier for her joyful presence. I have a friend who adopts old labs and retrievers (there are re-homing programs apparently, often old people giving up their dogs when they go into homes.) but that takes a certain sort of fortitude as the dogs are usually older when adopted and so tend to die sooner rather than later. Don't know that I could do that on a regular basis.Generally, but my cross bred border collie blue heeler died suddenly at 12 and the pure bred pug will be 14 in August.
My advice would be just get the dog you want and can afford.
