I have a 6 year old who could easily knock a toddler over, I think i should get rid of him before i get too attached. :rotfl:

Nah, just train it to behave properly.

None of you are actually interested in the original purpose of this thread because you are too busy slagging each other off. Did the OP find a new home for his dog?

But how do you live in a normal sized family house with dogs & children & say they are NEVER alone together, I think it's impossible.

Could on of your children not wake in the night & wander downstairs without waking you?
Do you physically lock (with a key) your dog in/away at night?
Do you bring your children to the loo/bath/shower with you?
What about when the doorbell rings, do you bring the kids too?
What if your child falls asleep on the sofa & you need to pop upstairs to get something, do you wake them?
What about people who have 2 or more young childen & they go in different directions, what then???

You can never in a normal household say your dogs & children are never alone. If it were my child I would rather it meet a spaniel in the living room than a rottweiler:eek:

sleepymy, well farmers keep their animals in locked pens, if you do that with a dog then fair enough but otherwise no.

Oh no the sheep is after me, baaaaaaaaaaa

Loopy Donna with all due respect, that is a pathetic similarity, a bottle of milk doesnt bite back now does it lmao.

She could have been seriously injured by broken glass, but it doesn't mean I'm going to stop buying milk does it?

There seem to be a lot of trolls on this thread resorting to personal insults when people don't agree with them. It is not nice.

You haven't answered my question. Should farmers not have children?

Why are they likely to keep the farm animals in their home then???

Ah yes, but I could get a small/medium dog off a child/person quickly, I don't know if I could get a Rottweiler or a Bull Terrier off before the child was maimed or dead. Even a big man would have trouble controling one of these that was savaging someone.

Even if that small/medium dog had its jaws and teeth sunk firmly into a toddlers jugular vein?

loopydonna, but at least you could easily get her away from the milk, not the same as pulling a dog off her now is it. and you can simply buy milk i plastic cartons.

Do they also keep their children locked in pens to keep them from getting into the fields with the animals?

FYI a ram can kill an adult human so your last statement makes as much sense as the rest of them.
