Parson Russell Terrier

[Milou1]

Has anyone any experience of them with their baby?
I got the dog because it has such a good rep with children but i do find mine very easily excited (that's because she is a puppy) and just has the loudest bark that I'm scared will frighten the little one?

Anyone with experience?

So, you got a puppy and now you are pregnant and worried about Tue combination of the pup and the baby?

Is that what you are asking?

• the, not Tue, stupid predictive text

No pregnant yet, wedding first in May :-)

Congratulations on the wedding. If you're not pregnant yet, the pup will obviously be older by the time you are.

Fwiw, babies can cope with quite a lot of background noise, otherwise no one would ever have more than one given the noise older siblings make around babies.

Socialise your pup around children make sure there are a couple of no go areas in the house for the dog so that you know if you've left baby sleeping in the bedroom the dog won't go in and try to sleep on the bed and if you haven't already, crate train the dog to give him his own quiet, safe place.

Thanks for the replies so far, very interesting :-)
@hopeforthebest - I think my PRT is just like your friends although recently she has started to want to play with a ball (only ones with big squeakers in!)

I was worried about my dog barking and waking/scaring the baby. So far so good, baby seems to think its background noise and doesn't bother her at all.

I found my babies got used to it while they were in my stomach i would feel them jump to start with but barking rarely wakes them.
