[QUOTE="donna723, post: 430742, member: 1883"] The size factor is something to consider with a small child. My daughter and sister in law have two large breed dogs, one a lab mix. When my grandson was born, the dogs loved him, especially the female dog. They were great with him when he was an infant and very protective of him. But when the baby was big enough to start walking, it became a problem. Neither dog would ever intentionally hurt him but they're so big, if they just bumped in to him they would knock him down. He just turned two now and the dogs are no longer given free run of the house when he's up. They're playing outside or napping in their crates. When he gets a little bigger though, the dogs will be allowed to be around him more. [/QUOTE]
