Raider/Wills update

I just thought that I'd send you a quick update on Raider and Wills. As a devout Green Bay Packer fan, of course I had to change their names! Raider is now called Bubba and Wills is now Reggie (after current and retired Packer players).

They seem to love their 1/2 acre. There is a big hill in the back that they enjoy running up and down. Reggie actually let me pet his chin for a few seconds this morning! I am hopeful that over time he will become confident, secure and content and actually want to be held and pet. He has made good progress since I picked them up on Saturday. Bubba seems like he has been there the whole time. He is very confident and happy.

Thanks!

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!!
