I know reputable rescues (of which MTAR certainlly seems to be one) won't rehome dogs of unknown background - ie pound - to homes with small children.
Our about-to-be dog did spend the first couple of months of his life in the pound - then the rescue, and only 10 days in foster (with dogs, cats, chickens but no children - although he has met a few on days out with foster carer).
The rescue website did describe him as an ideal family dog, to grow up with kids...hence why I noticed him, along with good looks and soppy expression....and dd (4.5) has met him, no problems....but am I missing something? It doesn't feel like I am, iyswim, but??
Or does that rule generally just apply to adult dogs rather than big pups? He's 4-5 months old.
