To add to that adorable Jackson video, we've always had terriers growing up. We got our first dog when I was in second grade. However, my Mom (being the animal lover that she is) was always showing us animals, and telling us to be nice and we honestly never had an issue. We knew that when Cammie growled at us, it was because that she had had it, and was warning us to leave her alone.
Does that mean I condone a dog growling at a human? No, but it's like what I tell people with regards to mean dogs. It's not the dog's attitude, it's the owners.
You need to work with your child with regards to her respect for animals. This could mean just keeping the breeders name, and possibly working out something that'll let your little girl visit the breeder on occasion in order develop your child's respect.
Other then that, for your sake and the dog's, keep your child away. Or it will end in heart break |
