Well, I have two dogs, Shih Tzus and they are known for not losing any hairs at all. My DD also has one and this is because she has an allergy to dogs, cats and most other pets. She also has a four year old and a seventeen month old and they have been brought up with a dog and also are being taught how to behave round dogs. I have to say I would be shocked if any mother would put a baby of three months on the floor with any animal. Our dogs actually try and stay out of the way of the baby because they are at more risk from him than he is from them. All my children have been brought up with animals and learned to respect them and are teaching their children the same. I think there are many myths re dogs and what you can "catch" from them. Obviously you wouldn't put a young baby on the floor with any dog and some dogs you wouldn't leave any child with but, that is quite often down to the owner and how they treat them. My other DD had a beautiful chocolate Labrador and her first baby used to climb over and play with him from when he could walk or even before and my DD is a Midwife and certainly would never put her children at risk. She now lives in New Zealand has another child and has another dog. I think children miss out when they don't have a pet. They can enrich your lives and bring such joy and to see DGC with them brings double the joy.
