[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The more problematic thing is that OP wants a dog that won't trigger her anxious child. That basically rules out all puppies, as even the best of puppies will bite and chase a child who runs, and otherwise not be a Gund 24/7. The option then is for OP to get a mellow adult dog, which is much easier to accomplish by going to a rescue, rather than to a breeder of a specific breed, who likely won't have adult dogs to place, and then wait for one of their dogs to be returned (which generally does not happen if the breeder is responsible). [/quote] 100% accurate, pp. Also, any return-to-breeder situations are likely to have complicated backstories, less-than-ideal upbringing, and possible problems, same as any shelter/foster/rescue. The best plan for a house with an anxious kid is to not get a dog of any kind, and work on the anxiety first.[/quote]
