[quote=Anonymous]We rescued an exuberant lab that was approx 10 months old in Feb 2012 and then in July 2012 our adoption went through and we brought home our 1 mo old daughter. Did not plan it that way but was awesome. Pretty sure a rescue group would have denied us a bouncy full size lab with an infant but we have no regrets.
We taught our daughter from a very young age how to be gentle to the dogs ( We have two) and how to pet them and give them space. Our shepherd mix was 3 when DD came home and calmer in temperment. She liked to get away from DD as a toddler and we made sure she could, she had a space under a table where she would go and DD was not allowed under there.

DD is now 6 and the lab is 7 and he sleeps with her on her bed every night, they play together in the yard chasing sticks and balls and love each other so much. She can't walk him because he would pull her over if he saw a squirrel but aside from that she takes good care of both dogs, gives them breakfast and dinner both days, lets them out etc.[/quote]
