Hi everyone

I am new here im from the netherlands so im sorry for my english,
To make a long story a short.. I live at a farmhouse together with my husband my daughter who turned 1 yesterday! My parents and my grandma. Yes it is a big house.
We have 4 chihuahua's and we had a bouvier for 13 years. He past away last summer. We are missing a big dog around the house. We wanted a neopolitan for a long time. So..

After vistiting a bad breeder i decided to call a neopolitan club in the netherlands and she knew a well known breeder who is expecting puppy's next week. So we made the call and she will let me know when they are born! We already contacted a dogschool for puppy training so we can start as soon as possible.

Now is would like to know is there anyone here who had a pup and a 1 year old? Ofcourse i will never let them alone or let her crawl in or around his crate. I already put his/her crate up. So i am already learning her she is not allowed to go there. What more can i do?

Thank you.

Missjg

Hi Missjg. My only recommendation is to teach not only the Neo to respect the and be submissive to the child but to teach the child to respect the dog. Some people think it is cute and that it is a sign of a good family dog if the child can pull the dogs ears, tail and ride it's back. In my book that's abuse and should never happen.

The first year the pup is in training and will be too hyper to interact with a one year old.
I and when the child interacts with the dog it should to teach them how to pet the dog, a few strokes per I teraction.

Congrats on the new dog.
