I think it depends on the dog. Our lab Bridget is 80 pounds and she's great with Bella. They play really well together. The rest of our extended family has 3 golden retrievers and one large mix. They're at least Bridget size or bigger. I have to watch them around Bella 'cause they seem to forget how small she is or that she's there and they'll run right over her when playing. Mind you, Bella's not that small. She'd 15 pounds but she's much smaller than they are.
Bridget was a goof as a puppy and she grew so quickly. Bridget was already 4 years old when we brought Bella home. |
