| Re: What do children do to dogs?
Some breeds are higher strung than most, and can be too hyper or don't know their own strength and can hurt a child.
Some kids can't recognize the signs that a dog may give before snapping or biting. It helps if the dog is older or trained, but some kids can tug on the dog's ears or tails - like testing or playing and some dogs will snap.
Some shelters or rescues will test the dog, but you have to be careful and teach the children proper behavior around the dog. The smaller 'toy breed' dogs are generally not good with kids. |
