German shepherd and child

[NoCanoe]

My DH chose to get a dog against my wishes .

His daughter chose to have a baby.

Aibu in refusing dog and child being together.?

H thinks I am being over cautious. . He trusts his dog!!

The dog is skittish around children.
I don't agree .

We are at divorce point .

I usually do the bulk of the walks apart from the last few weeks due to an ankle sprain.

He's our Dog, to be fair. I was pretty pissed off when I wrote the OP! But he had been taken on with reluctance on my part. Purely because I didn't want a dog at that particular time.

I don't want anyone thinking I'm trying to get rid of him or I don't love him! The dog, that is....

Mist serious dog bite scenarios happen at grandparents house. This is because the little screechy ear pulling runny around monster is on the dogs territory. Getting in their face (toddler's at eye level) making sudden movements. The dog is also often pushed out of the way and made to be out of where they normally are. Berated or simply spoken to densely if it approaches screech monster. Screech monster may try to take dogs toys or have food that dog wants. Dog may usually be given titbits.

It's a recipe for disaster if poorly managed. Well managed and fine.

GSD would not be my first choice around young children. I say this as someone with extensive dog experience and one time owner of rescue rotweiller and new born screech monstet

ah fuck it... keep the dog & get rid of the dh

but in all seriousness op your dh NEEDS to understand the dangers that could happen. Because at the moment the biggest danger to both the baby and the dog is ur dh attitude.

I second another poster. If ur dh won't listen then a sit down with his dd would be the next approach and make it blatently clear that her dad is being blaise about it all so that at least she is aware of the potential danger.
reasonably though, with 3 adults in the house I can't see an opportunity for the 2 to be left unsupervised.
