First off, not looking to start a fight here, just curious.
I've noticed a lot of posts around here concerning children and dogs. Many people here have said that if their dog attempted to bite their child (or any child) the dog would immedietely be put down.
Now I know many of you that are in the 25-and-older crowd on Chaz have children...I don't have children, and I never will, so maybe my views are a little biased...
But why, if the dog attempted to bite a child, would you not try to rehome the dog with a responsible rescue that would place the dog into a child-free home that will remain child-free for the remainder of the dog's life?
And why are so many of you against adopting out a dog that cannot be around children? I've seen this come up in numerous rescue-related threads, and numerous training threads.
Pepe (my CGC, TT, obedience and agility champ) hates small children. He was originally adopted out through a different rescue group (an incompetent one), he bit the small child, was surrendered to us, and I fostered and adopted him. He isn't a bad dog and I (nor my rescue) would ever dream of putting him down for that...
Again, not trying to start a fight here, but just curious...
