Re: Another baby killed by a dog
So sad and so true.I have a lovely staff and he wouldn't know how to bite a human but nevertheless I would NEVER leave him alone with a baby or for that matter anywhere near a baby or toddler. But I wouldn't leave any dog alone with a baby because as Meg says babies sound too much like squeaky toys.

This is true, plus with their incredible noses, we don't know how they interpret the smell of babies, with nappies, food on bibs etc.
In the past, I also noticed that bitches who had reared a litter react differently to certain noises than ones that hadn't reared their own.
