Peas in a Pod

Dear Friends at Beagles and Buddies,

I thought that I would take a minute to let you know how much we are enjoying our two new family members. You knew them as Ruby and Gabby, we got them in December 2001, we have since renamed them as Sister (the Doxy), and Missy (the Chihuahua). Neither of them were confused with their name changes. As you can see from the photo, they are quite content here in their new home and certainly not lacking for attention.

How do new dogs and babies get along?

The baby and the dog should never be left alone together.

However, Bassets are the least likely to be dangerous. There are other breeds such as the Labrador, the Golden Retriever, and the Collie that are unlikely to snap at children.

Adopting an older dog that has had experience with children is much better than adopting a puppy or a young dog without experience.

With puppies, teething is part of growing up - and sometimes they don't know the strength of their own jaws. Rather than riskng it, go with an older dog. That way, both parties can have fun & respect without getting into any trouble!!
