We've been looking for a while now for a family dog. I'm a lonely stay at home mom and could use the company, and my 1 year old LOVES dogs. In fact, DOG is one of the few words he can say =). We don't have the $ to buy from a breeder (and don't want a puppy), and would like to rescue a dog that needs a home. I found a small american bulldog mix (looks exactly like a bully, so I'm not sure of the mix). She is 1 year and 4 months and weighs 45 lbs. We went to see the dog and she loved my son..a little too much actually. She licked his face like crazy. I didn't take her right away because I wanted to think about it to make sure it was the right decision. I worry that she may "like" my son too much and lick him to death whenever he's walking around, or knock him over when she gets excited. On the other hand, we were in her house when we met her and she was comfortable there and excited to see such a little person. I wonder if when we took her home she would calm down a little and realize that she's in his(my 1 year old) house. Maybe she would get used to him being around and they could live in peace. I don't know. I would appreciate any advice. Do you think it's a good idea??? Should we get her?
P.S. I know that any dog, no matter the breed, should never be left alone with a child.
