I spoke with my uncle who has quite a few number of dogs and he says I should just give it to the friend. In the op I mention my baby girl. He says the dog/puppy is going to continue to nip at the baby, crawling is around the corner so she will be face level which everything I’ve read says to avoid that scenario, and he says she will hate dogs by the time she is 2 years old. Any truth to that? Please anyone feel free to respond to this as well.

Most any dog can hurt a baby or toddler. I have a sweet mutt and beagle mixes and I still try to keep space between her and the dogs as much as possible. Supervise them when they’re around her. Mine are older so they are more chill but still prone to spurts of wildness. They are food aggressive because she feeds them and they trail her after both my kids for scraps. So there’s times when they get downright wild with each other but they always avoid the kids in the madness. Son will be 8 soon. Daughter just turned 1
A puppy may view her as a playmate for a while but it you actively stimulate and train the dog it will learn to steer clear for the most part. And when your kid gets up and moving they will play together again. I know they will herd but i don’t know how serious their nip is. I wouldn’t be worried about that breed spazzing out and attacking so if it does nip way too aggressively at some point and can’t be corrected offload it to this other party. My kids both grew up like this and they both love the dogs and aren’t scared if them in any fashion Last edited by Pablo; Yesterday at 11:23 PM.. |

Giving away a 7 year olds puppy is some prime trauma shit too btw
You got a baby to worry about but if your son is attached to this dog in any fashion it’s gonna ruin his little world for a bit |

And you'll need to work the dog some. If they just lay around the house, they'll get full of energy, get the zoomies, and get themselves into trouble. Plus they have some quirks to learn and manage. It's not some lazy house dog you just chill with, but once they're part of your family they are a damned rewarding dog to own. But let's be clear - it's not without work. |

If the kid fully understands it’s a trial run then that’s more reassuring. I’m framing a lot of this thru the views of my son
Did you guys name this dog already? |

I’ve booped them on the butt. Not a beating, but a bop. You. An also act like it hurts so they’ll stop. A big thing you can do is redirect with a toy. If they want to chew for the sake of chewing, make them chew a Toy. If they want affection make them do it without teeth. If they want to chase and herd make them play fetch. That kind of stuff. |
