[quote=Anonymous]Us: 2 WOHPs, 1 DC, 2 dogs. Try to find a full-grown dog that suits your family. House-breaking a puppy is a full-time job for a few months (for every month of age they gain an hour of bladder control, up to ~10 hours max). And puppies have a physical need to chew and are still learning appropriate social behavior. Larger dogs tend to be more mellow and more tolerant of children. Your children will still need to be supervised around any dog, of course. I would look at 40 lbs and up. Plan on obedience classes. We found it easier to hire a trainer to come to us than to bring a young child to an evening class. You will find it challenging to adopt a dog with young children. A lot of the rescue leagues don't want the liability and won't adopt out many dogs to families with children under 10.[/quote]
