[quote=Anonymous] The danger comes when the puppy is a teen (anywhere from 6 months to a year and a half), nearly full-grown: they can bowl over little kids because of their high energy and rambunctiousness, and also nip or bite, and inflict real damage if they do not receive sufficient training. A teen Golden will be 2-3 times the weight of your kids. And of course a young puppy cannot hold its bladder for more than their number of months plus 1, in hours. So a 2 month old puppy can go for 3 hours without peeing in the house, longer at night if you cut off water intake a couple of hours before bedtime. You will need to get up in the middle of the night at first. But the foremost consideration in a household with very young children is the sheer weight and potential aggressive propensities of a large teen dog. [/quote]
