[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love my dog, but the day he snapped at one if my kids would be his last day in this house.  I would be heartbroken, but he would be gone. [/quote]
Wow! The kid teases the dog, dog reacts and the dog is the one blamed? 
What happened to being a responsible parent?[/quote]

Posters like the above are exactly why children are hurt and sadly, sometimes even killed by family dogs.  My children could tease our German Shepherd all day long and he wouldn't so much as growl at them.  Of course we taught our kids about how to behave around dogs.  But more importantly, we taught our dogs that they had better not even look at one of our kids wrong.

No way in hell would I have a dog in my house after he snapped at one of my kids.  [b]That's just nuts[/b].[/quote]
No, you're nuts. If you are not willing to put in the effort to have dogs and kids co-exist then you should not have a dog or rehome it. It is absurd of you to say that posters like me are the reason kids are hurt. Maybe if there were fewer dog owners like you there would be less such reports. And dog owners like you are the reason many dogs end up on death row at the shelter.[/quote]

Keep telling yourself that.  I've been raising and training German Shepherds for years.  My husband is federal law enforcement and we have had police dogs living with us.  I know dogs better than most.  It absolutely IS people like you that cause children, usually your own, to get hurt.  And when a dog causes serious injury, what do you think usually happens to it?

Of course you teach your children how to behave around a dog.  But training the dog is much more important.  You can't always control the way someone else's kid acts around your animal.  And dogs sometimes manage to get free.  What are you going to do when your precious fido accidentally gets off his lease and bites a child who hasn't been taught how to greet a strange dog?

You are wrong.  A dog that displays aggression has no place in a home with your children.  Period.[/quote]
Keep parroting your lines. I dont think you understood even a word of the OP's post.[/quote]
