Sitting here bored and just wondering about my dogs.
I have 3dc and am pregnant with my forth and it got me thinking, these rescue centres that don't rehome to homes with children for example Battersea dogs home won't rehome the majority of their dogs to people with DCs under 10yrs old, what do people then do if they get pregnant?
If you rehome a dog not suitable with children to a couple who then goes on to have children do they then have to give the dog up or do they just train it to live with children?
If its the latter then why have the rule in the first place when the owners can then go on and have children who are obviously going to be less than the stated age suitable.
I was fortunate to find a great rescue who doesn't have a blanket rule on children and very lucky to be matched to my dogs who are great with children who at the time were all under 4yrs old.
