[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do not hesitate to find a new home, adults only, for this dog. I had a puppy that bit my preschool daughter (not teething, but a real bite), and I gave him away to a family with older teens. Worked out fine. Cute puppy, but he didn't like kids.

Once a dog crosses the line and bites, it's all over for that dog, IMHO. If you are expecting, that's more reason. There are lots of people who love goldendoodles. Call a rescue, put him online and remove him from your house NOW.

Do not give him to a shelter! Unless it's a no-kill facility. [/quote]

Our dog [less than 1 but over 80 pounds] never was around children since 8 weeks or less.  He has seen them in passing while on a leash.  Much too our dismay he found children in our yard.  The reaction?  Ran over, tail wag and followed them.  No bite [play or otherwise], no knockdown of what appeared to be a 3 year old, gentle with what appeared to be an 11 year old.  Allowed petting with no negative reaction.  His manner of interaction differed from how he plays with large adult males.   A running 3 year old with flailing arms should NEVER be seen as prey -PLAY or OTHERWISE.

That is how you want a dog's natural response to children.  [/quote]
