Re: Looking for a new home for our doggie To answer the previous questions directly:
1.) No, I'm not afraid she'll attack the baby. I would never leave her, or any animal, unsupervised with a baby, or small child, though. Millie, loves to play rough and has no idea how much her paws can hurt when she playfully grabs your arm with them. For a tough kid who loves to wrestle (and doesn't mind a few inadvertent scratches), she'd be great. For a toddler, she's just not gentle enough. The only time she's shown any aggressive behaviour is when strangers come in or near her yard. She can be territorial with her turf.
2.) The reason we are finding a new home for her is as explained above, she is a very social animal and we don't have the time to spend with her. I know that's hard to understand, but regional airline schedules, babies, and pets don't mix well.
3.)She's a mutt, but from what I've been told she probably has some lab and border collie in her. She's never lived with cats, but seems a little too interested in them on walks. The cats I've had wouldn't care for her much, due to her energy level and lack of respect for personal space (when playing catch, she sometimes tries to run me down when returning the ball, frisbee, etc.)
Again, thanks for your interest and feel free to pm me with specific questions |
