I'm with reddawn on this one.

 

I thought my dogs were the most important things in my life(...after the wife of course...sorry dear...didn't see you reading over my shoulder) until my son was born. I now have a three year old son and a daughter on the way in three months. I have three dogs aged 12, 8 and 4. The eldest and youngest are great with my son but the middle one only likes me and her two kennel mates. For reasons that I won't go into in detail, we've decided to try to rehome her (that's rehome: not sell). We decided about 2 years ago and she's still with us...understandably, nobody wants an eight year old bitch who doesn't like other people or other dogs. :whistling: In the meantime she's still kenneled outside with the other two and comes inside during the evening after my son's gone to bed and they very rarely come into contact...it's simply not worth the risk.

 

spot on mate, the more you read this post the people want to keep the dogs with the kids in the house (why) dogs are animals not liitle people. Iwas brought up with dogs as kid bullbreeds (staffs,pits,bullmastiffs) and they were ouside in there kennel+run, never any probs we would go out and play with them in the garden with adult there . Ive got a son 25 and he as been brought up with lurchers, they come in the house when i am there . Even when my lad was a small child , never with him unlees i was there. Any dog can turn when it wants, any time+place . It only takes a sec and 90% its a kid who getts it, because the dogs know there are a easy target .! With pack order (you) are top dog (boss) and it dont matter what you say the dogs know the kids are lower in the pack, and thats why (when) you are there they wont do anything. But no pack leader there , thats when it will happen. How many times have people said that, that when you not there dog acts differnt .!! dogs in kennels people in houses then you wont get probs to get rid of the dogs in the 1st place .?

i'd get rid of my dogs if i couldn't house them outside and had a kid.

 

but then i'd probably not have a dog in the house anyway.

 

I think the point is that you shouldn't need to put the dog outside. I am not saying you should trust a dog with a baby, I certainly wouldn't 100% but there is no reason to ever leave them alone so there shouldn't be an issue.

 

I might start taking out my annoyance in the for sale section from now on, someone has to shame them

 

accidents can happen,especially with strong,highly driven dogs.

 

there's no chance i'd have one in the house with a baby,possibly if i was that way inclined i'd allow some dopey lab in the house (still never near the child),but not a terrier,lurcher or anything else with something about it.

Jesus most lads with a new baby would be happy to have a dog to work.

just if it means getting out for a few hours here and there

 

We had a new baby a few months ago and i done the opposite

i got another pup,and some of the best time me and the the kids have is out and about with the dogs.

it's simple 9 times out of 10 it's the bird putting her foot down and saying get rid of the dog.

Having a baby is not meant to be the end of your life ,it's meant to be a new chapter

having working dogs is not a hobby it's a way of life and if you cant fit them in with having children you shouldn't have them in the 1st place

Well said :thumbs:

It's not just lurchers and terriers that get passed about, someone in my birds family have had over 10 pet dogs in 4 years and about 5 cats too and that's just ones i know of. I think some people can't help themselves when trawling the ads on the net.

i bet the house smelled a dream :bad::thumbs:

They only ever have 2 dogs at most, the others always seem to go when they can think up a reason and they always seem to get another within a week.

Sorry mate but that is bollocks. You can definitely teach a dog to show respect to a child and make it submit to them. I agree I still would never leave them alone together, but if they see the child as below them and obviously weak then you are asking for trouble.

This is what I mean about controlling dogs and kids, it isn't the dogs fault for 'turning', all of the signs are there from the second you introduce them together, the reason I wouldn't tust 100% is not because you couldn't ever trust a dog, but I wouldn't trust myself to be 100% vigilant at all times and not miss a sign, it isn't worth the risk.
