adopting older dog

Okay... this may sound awful but I have always been absolutely terrible at caring for dogs. What can I say, I'm a cat lady! The thing is, I love other peoples' dogs so much that I'm really getting the fever to have one of my own. Also, we need one for protection! We are moving to an apartment in the city.

I have a baby in the house. Would it be dangerous to adopt an older dog? I've heard that it's like playing Russian roulette which is not a chance I want to take with an infant around.

I would feel better adopting a puppy but I honestly just don't know if I'm ready for THAT much responsibility. Diapers and nursing take up A LOT of my time.... But I want a dog!
