The Blue Board

So you've met every poodle in the history of the world then. Since they are always snapping and all. And poodles aren't little. Standard poodles are, IIRC, bigger than a lab or golden.

Feel sorry for your daughter.

I don't understand why people surround their children with such trashy animals.

Please tell me this is sarcasm, because I've never seen a black guy holding his kids hand and holding a leash to a Pit bull at the same time.

Yeah it is something we tried to warn her and teach her about. She was very good at not doing it. The dog has never even snipped or growled at any of my children, which is why I was in such shock about it.

What kinda bulldog? English Are great with kids

damn dont know what to tell ya. mine is great with kids and everywhere i 've read says the same. might have been a bad situation i guess. everywhere i read they are good and protective of children. what was the situation exactly?

Go get her a German Shepherd. Mine wouldn't harm a fly and only requires petting to be happy and pleased lol....and a boat load of food.

great dogs for sure as my aunt has several and they are amazing animals

Mine bark like hell until I answer the door then they want to lick whoever is there. My buddy got one because he loved my dogs so much. It growled at me one time so I guess I'm just projecting my dogs onto the breed.

Mines the exact same way. I should have clarified. The strangers thing applies to when he is outside and someone wanders up. If someone is let in by me or the woman he just turns in to a licking machine and I've never seen even a hint of aggression. And like I said, I like the aggression towards uninvited strangers. He's also super good with other dogs.

And on while on the subject of weims... He's a great dog and its a fantastic breed. Loyal, loving, unique looking and a very handsome breed. He's got a TON of energy but when exercised properly is very well behaved which is how it seems most of them are. He's also the smartest dog I've ever had. Weimsraners are great dogs and I'll be a lifelong owner.

Her and my nine year old son said that all she was doing was watching tv and all of the sudden the dog jumped off of the couch and bit her. He said she wasnt anywhere near her,and none of us have ever been agressive with her.

Never had any problems with her before, she was a great dog.

No matter what type of dog you get I would suggest looking into the two week shutdown. I didn't do it with my latest dog though I kind of wish I had and I still might. It is supposed to help alot with adjustment and behavior for new dogs. As scary as the experience might have been, sounds like what happened was actually kind of minor and natural for the dog. Your kid, understandably, wasn't able to pick up on cues and the dog was probably acting in a way that was natural for her. Unfortunate for everyone that this happened.
