I would not even let *both* my Dobes love up a kid at the same time.
They adore children but what if one feels the other is getting more love and suddenly acts out?
Just like that, in an instant of unpredictable, unusual behavior, a little kid gets hurt.
Not a chance.
I would never take any of my dogs to “dog parks”, either.
Two of them would be easy victims for aggressive dogs and two of them are dog aggressive.
Not for a single, solitary second do I *ever* forget what ~any~ dog is capable of.
An injured child is not worth anything *I* might think is ‘fun’.
Case in point, the sweetest, most gentle, passive, submissive dog I’ve ever had was the one who saved me from my ex, the night he tried to kill me.
Shocked me to the core, she did.
I never would have imagined that she had it in her to ‘get mad’, ever.
[but thank God she did or I’d be dead]
No one, anywhere, can ever predict _100% of the time_ what any dog might do and where kids are concerned, nothing less than 101% will do, for me.
Me either. Four because they can't defend themselves and one because he can.
