To not let dd 13 visit friend with a rescue

Crisp cane in the house.
I don’t know the parents anyway and I do not feel this breed of dogs are safe. DD literally hates me now as a few of them are going

YANBU. Horrible, unpredictable dogs, even when raised from a puppy. Given that it's a rescue, the risk increases even more. And I say that as someone who has had many rescue dogs.

Actually it depends. We have a dog. When we have child guests he is kept separate and never unsupervised. If they are happy to segregate children and dog I don’t see an issue ( and have other friends that do the same)

If you mean a Cane Corso then you're not overreacting in my opinion.

A cane corso? No I wouldn't.

A rescue Cane Corso? Absolutely fucking not.

I’m a lifelong dog lover, but I’d be very cautious about a cane corso. Not long ago there was one in a pub where dd had gone with Gdcs. Gds, 7 at the time, asked the owner (as he’d been taught from a toddler) whether it was all right to pat the dog. The owner said yes, it’d be fine.
The bugger still nipped him!

What’s a Crisp Cane?

Dunno but it sounds tasty 😆

if you mean a cane corso then you’re absolutely not over reacting. We have one that lives on our street at the owner is literally dragged about by it. I always cross the street or go the other way when I see it as I have a reactive dog however if the cane corso decided it wanted to head our way the owner wouldn’t have much say in the matter!

also the story in the news of that poor young boy about 3 who was killed by one on his parents farm in the past few years. They’ve have now actually been sentenced for neglect.

stick to your guns and don’t let her go. Invite the friend to yours or meet up outside.

No way. A group of excited kids and a rescue cane coral sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Am I the only one hoping @DinosaursDoInTheMorning children all get dogs
Some dog owners are irresponsible
Some people are irresponsible
Some dogs are unpredictable

But in the end it is your child and up to you

A rescue Cane Corso? Absolutely fucking not.

My thoughts exactly.

I have a rescue dog and a stepson of same age. You’re making snap judgements here, particularly if you don’t know the dog or parents. I keep my dog on lead or take her out when stepson has mates over. They may have arranged for the dog to be elsewhere.

it’s too late for this occasion but please make an effort to get to know the parents and make an informed decision. For now, perhaps talk to other parents of your DD friends? They may know the family better and be more informed.

Are they bred by Walkers?
