[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aggression seems like the only legit reason to me.  Otherwise if you’ve adopted a dog, you’ve made a commitment to care for it.  Annoying or not, inconvenient or not.  Just because it’s less fun because you have a baby to watch now is irresponsible to me, you should not have gotten a dog in the first place.  [/quote]

This. I deeply resented my dog while DD was a newborn - the dog just made everything harder. But we made a commitment when we got her. Fast forward a couple years, and it has been awesome to see the dog and DD together. They love each other.

We're now having to think about euthanizing our beloved dog because of aggression risk as she starts to get senile. IME euthanization is usually better than rehoming for aggression: it's rare to find a home that can tolerate the risk and where moving the dog is actually doing the dog a favor. I've seen it work with family members whom the dogs know, but for whatever reason don't live near kids.[/quote]
