[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I would not get a dog until my kids were older (9+) - I’ve seen a lot of dogs who turn out to not be family friendly (dog gets overstimulated, growls, snaps, bites, etc.) and then the family is a really tough position. When your kids are old enough, they can understand how to not trigger an attack.[/quote] Also… I love dogs, but my brother has one and my sister in law has one. Both really cramp their lifestyle. One has a small “family friendly” breed that growls at children and the other has a golden retriever who is gentle but enormous, and he stinks and sheds. Each of our parents hate having the dogs around, and so our siblings have difficulty going anywhere with family for a weekend etc. I had a cockapoo growing up, and she also bit. Dogs with young kids is a hard pass for me for both safety and logistics reasons.[/quote]
