And that’s the whole truth, right there.
My Dobes adore children....the whole breed tends to dote on them, for some weird reason I could not begin to guess.
[even Seven, who has no good opinion of anyone not us, lets kids pet her. if I’m ever murdered, it will be done by a gang of toddlers, I bet]
*But* I would not let mine alone with small kids, because of the worry they’d get knocked down and hurt by an over-exuberant display of affection.
Why worry over that?
Some of the “killings” reported on that craptastic ‘dogsbite’ site include people who were knocked flat by large dogs, and sustained fatal head injuries when their skulls hit rocks and such.
Anyone who “forgets” that they have something akin to a wolf in their living room is a fool, no matter the size or breed of said semi-wolf.
Stupidest question I ever hear ...”Does your dog bite?”
Well, it has teeth, so the possibility is always there.
“Anyone who “forgets” that they have something akin to a wolf in their living room is a fool, no matter the size or breed of said semi-wolf.”
I would love to know the % of people who bother to train their dog, even the barest minimum no/stay/sit/heel/come or whatever. It might be single digits. It makes for miserable dogs and miserable people.
