[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a ten year old terrier mutt that we have had since 8 weeks old. He was a great dog pre kids. When we had our first child (4 now) he got more annoying(think jumping on counters for food, more barking, etc). Now our 1 year old is mobile and very interested in the dog. He has never hurt the dog but even if he goes to pet dog the dog snaps and growls. I don't want to take any chances. Frankly, I no longer trust the dog at all. Is there a shelter that would take such a dog? Advice please![/quote]

Your child is now 1. You also have a 4 year old.  Are you saying you have kept them apart for 4 years?  Has this dog been growling at both your kids for 4 years and now you're at the point where it is just intolerable keeping 2 kids away from an ill-tempered terrier.[/quote]

I'm the PP.  Why would you want a dog whose natural inclination is to growl and snap at babies and children?  When my kids were young we'd walk the dog with 1 child walking and a stroller.  What does OP need-a muzzle on the dog for such an ordinary walk?[/quote]
