Let me tell you a story. My neighbor who only has grown children bought a puppy from me. She was about 16 weeks when her daughter brought her lab to visit. This lab is good with children and other dogs so they weren't concerned. They also kept her leash on and took them out into the yard to play. They were rolling a ball for the lab to get and the puppy ran over to try to play also. The lab grabbed for the ball and bit through the puppy's jugular vein. She was dead within minutes. No time to take her to the vet even. It only takes common sense to realize that such a size difference can be an accident waiting to happen. This dog was not vicous it was an accident but wouldn't you rather be safe than sorry |
