if i were in this situation it’d either be the dog or me and the baby :woman_shrugging:t2: i won’t even have my daughter around my in laws aggressive barking rat so absolutely would NOT have it around a lab/pit mix

Give up that baby for adoption. You have a lousy, uncommitted boyfriend and that baby is in serious danger of being mauled, once that happens the baby will be disfigured for life or dead. If you are going to yell at me fine but I will respond with pictures and stories of dead and mauled babies because their parents were stupid enough to own a pit bull.

I most certainly would not bring my baby home with that dog there. No way. Let him know if the dog is not gone then you are until it is. Protect your child!!

Firstly, I’d be moving the dog outside. Give the dog a chance, take him to the vet, have a trainer work with him, and also see if it’s just your pregnancy hormones that are affecting him. If there is no improvement within 3-6 months I would be looking at rehoming

Much nope. I honestly believed for a LONG time that “it’s all how you raise them” I am starting to disagree, especially with this sort of mix. I have heard way too many stories of these types of dogs randomly attacking babies and kids. I would 100% not allow that dog around your baby. Some dogs this mix are really good with kids, but I’m always skeptical about it. It’s in their blood to attack when they feel threatened. I wouldn’t risk it. I hope you can figure out a solution. And the simple fact that you tried to be near it when it was doing whatever and it lunged at you, point proven on it being dangerous. Loving family friendly dogs just don’t do that. Either put it down or adopt it out. But it seems pretty aggressive, I’d put it down. Babies come first.

He needs to get rid of the dog. If he’s already showing signs of aggression he will only get worse.

This shouldn’t even be a question! An aggressive dog needs to be put down. Rehoming will only transfer the risk to someone else. This dog WILL kill your baby and possibly you. Your husband is also at high risk too especially with the seizures. Please do some research on pit bulls! Follow the page “the pit bull propaganda” (I think that’s what it’s called but type that in your search) and follow that page for one month and you will see for yourself.

I dont know you and I’m not going to judge you. I implore you to read up on some stats. Read the stories of sooo many people who’ve had their family dog snap and irrevocably change their Life. Their baby, child, brother, sister, mother, grandparent, friend gone!! You CANNOT UNDO IT! Do the right thing and take this dog to the vet and say goodbye. Move on and live a happy and loving life with your baby. It’s YOUR JOB TO PROTECT AND ADVOCATE for your child!!! :heart:

Just from my personal experience my dog got aggressive when I first got pregnant towards my fiancé, we learned when we brought the baby home it was due to her protecting me and the baby. She absolutely loves him and will not let anything happen to him. Sometimes it happens because they can sense your pregnant and their instincts kick in. But it needs to be your choice and what you think. Only you know this animal and know the behavior.

I may be the odd one out but if he started acting like that once you moved in then it’s because he’s guarding his space. He doesnt feel like it’s his anymore and is acting out. Maybe it’s because you’re pregnant too that hes lashing out at other people. Some dogs get weird when a female is pregnant. Ours is super protective at home, wont let anyone in that we havent properly introduced. Once were out in public however she is fine. It’s a territorial thing. Look into behaviour training in your area or call the vet and see what they recommend. They may have a trainer to work with him and may put him on some meds to calm him down. Theres always options to fix a pup besides giving them up or putting them down.

You would be taking a HUGE RISK by keeping this dog. Even if he isnt aggressive to the newborn, that newborn will soon be a crawling / walking baby that takes toys, gets in the dogs face etc… its absolutely not worth the risk… The dog has to go. I wouldn’t bring a baby near it whatsoever. If fiancee wont budge, I’d stay elsewhere and maybe he will realize how serious this is… even trying to keep them separated wont work. You cant seperate them forever and soon enough the kiddo will be mobile and running around. All it takes is one time… one second.

Take this from experience, my daughter was almost a year old and was around the family dog (bluetick mix, food agressive after contracting Lymes disease) he mind you had bitten once before my older son because he was holding a sandwich in his face, the dog nipped his nose and grabbed the sandwich. My son was around 7 at the time. Very scary the dog was quarantined for a week because my son was bleeding and we went to the hospital. The police made us quarintine. After that we knew he was food agressive. Years went by. Back to my daughter, we were visiting my mother who has the dog, who had not bitten since that incident years earlier, it was summer my daughter had a bucket hat on and bathing suit we were in the dining room she was on the floor near my legs crawing around as usual. The dog came through the hallway that leads into the kitchen off of the dining room, casual as could be, were all talking, a dog toy was on the kitchen floor and we think he thought she was going to take the toy. He lunged at her, grabbed her by the bucket hat and threw her around it was the most traumatic experience ive ever been through he wouldnt let go. His bottom tooth went into her skin above her eye. Because he was trying to bite her. Thank god she had that hat on. My moms bf was able to get the dog off her. She had to have stitches right above her eye. It was so scary. The dog unfortunately wasnt put down that day, if i visit my mother to this day the dog has to be put in another room while were there. Because I dont want to take any chances. I WOULD NOT RISK YOUR CHILD. Also I have heard pit have “lock jaw” when the have attached to something its nearly impossible to get them off… Its not worth risking your child …

But he isnt protecting her so his instinct is not to protect mom and baby. It is hard to rehome a beloved pet thatbis part of the family but I am sure you will choose wisely when it is a choice between your child and your dog. My heart breaks that your fiancee isnt more concerned for you or the baby.:broken_heart:

We had a problem with a pit We saved from getting put down big mistake.We love pits and Rott good dogs.But some can’t be family.I’m so sorry but the dog would have to go.We Love are animals like one if are kids.But would put anyone in danger after so many times Of close calls.I say call animal control to come get Him because He might hurt You if You try to take Him.I’m very sorry You have had to deal with this.

Never keep an aggressive dog around a baby/children.

Look you already have your answer about the dog your just trying to make it ok to your other half. I have owned a pit and others for over 14 years best nanny dog which is what they were bread for to be nanny dogs. Our dogs live people and never meet a stranger but on the other side we have owned a couple that crossed the line and could be biters. One snapped at a kid because he got close to the food bowl. That’s all it took, I will not own a dog that could be a danger to anyone. Once they bite they get a taste of the blood and it makes them dangerous. The other that crossed the line I feel in love with hard and fast. And I don’t do that. He jumped in our other dog and my husband put him in the corner to make him stay and behavei saw at that very moment, he is going to bite someone and it could be us. We went to town and came back and our other dog was bloody. It looked like someone committed murder in my kitchen there was so much blood. And he went after my husband when separating the dogs. He didn’t like my husband being the alpha dog if that makes sense. We have to find him a special home with no dogs or kids. Its not that pits are all bitters a doctor said once in ts the fact they causeore damage than any other dog. Your child and safety comes first always! Never take a chance if you already know.

To me this is a no brainer. Dog vs. Baby. Your job is to protect your child first and foremost. I am an animal lover, but I would never put my child’s safety in jeopardy. This dog “may” be retrainable, but you need to ask yourself if you are ready to live with the consequences if he hurts your child. Imagine a large, venomous snake running loose in your home, with your baby. Pretty much no difference. Both are capable of killing a person even though one is much smaller than the other.

If the dog isn’t fixed, get him fixed. Find a behavioral dog specialist. Get him trained. Talk to your fiance about you not feeling like the baby will be safe around the dog.

I have not been through this, but… Go with your instincts momma, and tell your fiance that the dogs sudden aggression is enough reason to rehome his dog. Other wise, ask him if he’s willing to take a chance on him attacking your baby? I’m not one for people rehoming fur babies, because they are part of the family. But, an aggressive dog around a baby is not safe.

Poor breeding creates unstable dogs, and no amount of training will fix it. This dog is a danger to itself, to you, and to everyone around you, and doubly so to your baby. It only takes a moment, and he will only get worse.

Rehoming the dog is just passing on the problem. Is this dog happy? Constantly anxious, aggressive, quick-changing moods and seeing enemies around every corner?
No. This dog is suffering. Sending him to sleep would be a kindness.

There’s really no viable option other than to yeet the dog. Bill Burr rehomed his pitbull for this very reason when his wife was pregnant.

Also it’s advisable that people with seizure disorders don’t have dogs like this in their home. Many owners have been mauled to death during a seizure because the dog got scared and confused.

The dog has to go. I’m a dog lover too, but there are some dogs that wont fit with certain families and this is it. If you can find a trainer to take and rehome the dog to an appropriate person, that would be ideal, otherwise I would have the dog put down. That way it’s not stuck living in a shelter or possibly adopted out to another family where someone may get hurt.

Is it possible he was having medical issues prior and they were unknown and the dog got protective because he could snese something? Just a theory … And it has him on edge … I just ask because i have a service dog and my daughter does as well and MY service dog originally was my pet until i seen his behavior and how he was great criteria to be a service dog for my medical needs and picking up on them as well. Obviosly your husbands dogs aggresion is not a good at all. But his medical changes could have him stressed out . best of luck, and i would not bring my new baby into a home in that situation i have 3 pit bulls and a rottweiler that my 3 daughters were raised with 2 of which are service dogs :relaxed:

Euthanize it, this dog is just being what it was bred to be and has no place in a society where bloodsports are banned. This isn’t the sort of behavior that can be trained or loved out, pits were bred for gameness- to keep attacking no matter how badly they’re hurt.
Your fiance is a selfish fool to place this dog above the safety of others, especially his own baby. He’ll be sad about putting down his dog but considering what these dogs can do to babies THAT is something he will never get over.

I’m just letting y’all know not all pits are bad!! The kind of breed I have was bred to fight… we got her at 4 weeks old… she is now 4 years old… she has NEVER been aggressive towards anyone… my kids were 3 and and 11 when we got her… she has been their best friend ever since!!!

I’m am animal lover as well but if any of my 4 would lunge and bite at me he would be gone. That said this dog would need a single person with no other animals or children to go to and someone who will take the time to work with it and find out what is going on with him. I have a pit boxer mix and shes my baby and has never lunged or bit at me bit if she or my others did for no reason I sorry but I would have to put her down as much as that would kill me to do I would have to. If your husband chooses the dog over you and the safety of your child you need to re think your relationship and getting a stick visitation schedule with the baby as in hes to not have the dog around the baby at this point I would be highly concerned this dog would maul the baby to death and then the dog wont be a concern because it will be put down period and the both of you would end up in prison just saying. Best of luck on your decision.

The breed of Mayhem
In 2019 there were 49 pitbull related fatalities. Not to mention too many life altering maulings. Many infants and young children DEAD!
This animal has shown aggression to it’s owners… Did they train it to do so? :woman_facepalming:
HOW INCREDIBLY IGNORANT TO RECCOMEND REHOMING! Kids or no kids…There will be innocent neighbors and children at risk.
Please stop setting Children up for disaster!
This animal is not meant to be anyones pet!

Watch the dog whisper Dogs become aggressive when they sense fear and they don’t let fear or weakness lead them so they get aggressive because they think they’ll be a better leader. I have two pit bulls and my male dog tried pulling this shit, he was trying to go for my hands and then my face and I was so weak it was hard pushing him away( I was sick and weak for like a week) but I took my sandle off and smacked him in the nose yelling “you wanna get aggressive?”(crazy face im sure) and ever since then he listens to every word and if he doesn’t listen I show him my sandle he listens right away and there’s toddler’s living in this house totally safe dogs have access into the house cause they’re still our babies dogs just need a reminder that you and all humans in the house are the alpha not the dog. Do I think my dog was trying to kill me? No! He was just trying to be the boss of me and that how dogs make pack formation. If you can’t show him you’re alpha then the other dogs are pick up on it and then you’ll have a serious problem. But seriously watch the dog whisper he can change the most aggressive dogs (it’s most always the owners fault not the dogs) shame on anyone who says just put them down. Cruel. So Cruel! Rehome them to a better owner at least

That mom in Wisconsin or Illinois wherever it was never had ANY issues with her dogs either … until it randomly attacked her 2 month old and killed that poor baby :disappointed_relieved: I’m sorry I’m all for animals being loved regardless of their breed but if that dog has already lunged at you then thats a risk I would NEVER be willing to make. Better safe than sorry … when you bring a baby into the world that baby’s safety is above everything else no matter how hard it may be to rehome your pet I guarantee it would be a whole lot easier than the effects of a dog bite if your kid is lucky enough to still be alive after an attack :grimacing:

He would have been taken to a shelter the minute he went for my face!! You CAN NOT let that dog stay there!! One of these days your husband will have a seizure and go to give him his meds and that dog WILL ATTACK YOU!! He’s already growled at you when you went to help him.
It sounds like the pit bull side may have had some bad gene’s down the line. This can happen with any breed at any age!! Don’t get me wrong I have friends that have pit bulls that are BIG BABIES!! I’m not putting the whole breed down. It’s just sometimes it’s just a bad dog. I had a friend who rescued Shar Pei’s, and she had one of her own and she had to keep him in her bedroom because he did not like other people and he would attempt to bite or lunge at them! She eventually had to put him down.
Check google they should have ideas about dogs who have turned aggressive. And make sure you have your fiance read it also. If you take him to a shelter inform them that he has become aggressive. They will avoid adopting him to a family with kids!They will evaluate him and find the right person to adopt him! I know it’s hard but your family’s safety comes first! Just be very careful until you all make a decision.
Take care and congratulations on your new bundle of joy!!

I am a Pitbull lover BUT I also had a friend who was killed by two. Your situation sounds a lot like Jennifer’s. She had bathed, fed, slept with these dogs for months. She was 21, and not a small girl. I have been actively rescuing dogs for almost 15 years and understand me when I say that I would NEVER have an aggressive dog of any type in my home. Period. With all due respect, your question should not even be asked. It’s ridiculous and if your child is killed by this dog, you will most likely be charged with negligence for having the dog in the home. You cannot knowingly put a child in danger this way. If your boyfriend has an issue with rehoming the dog then I would be questioning his parenting capabilities, but that dog would leave the home before my child was brought home if the boyfriend left with it.

Here is Jennifer’s story

My family pitty got like that after a while. He ended up getting a brain tumor that changed his personality, he ended up passing away. But something to look into. Also look into training, he might need to be better trained

For a start you need to be aware that quite a few people have been killed by their own Pit Bull type dogs whilst they are having a seizure . These dogs are not safe in that situation . Also there are many many instances of this type of dog killing babies and toddlers with the parents right there unable to stop the attack .
And lastly the group now most at risk from fatal dog attacks are adult females , killed by their own dog .
Google " dog bite fatality " for more information .

I have an aggressive pit bull but he didn’t become aggressive until I got pregnant. They are adjusting too. They can sense the changes. My son is 1 now and our dog has never been any type of aggressive towards my son.
People need to understand that adding kids to homes where it’s just been animals is an adjustment for animals too. And to be honest if I had a dog for 4+ years and someone was telling me to get rid of it I’d say no too. No I’m not saying dogs are more important but dogs are family too.

The noises that a baby makes can be a trigger to lots of dogs - especially the squeals - it can trigger strange reactions in previously calm dogs - therefore for your babies sake - and your own ,given previous history ,I feel that this dog isn’t suitable to be around children - and I hate having to say this , but I wonder if it is safe at all - given its previous attacks ?? It needs someone very special that can work with it
Sadly bull breeds don’t necessarily bite more than any other breed - however it’s size means it is more lethal- a chihuahua will hurt and cause bad marks a bull breeds bites will kill. Still the same behaviour - it’s just the dog is much stronger x

Have the dog euthanized (it’s too dangerous to be a good pet for anyone) or move out and never allow your child to go to that house as long as the dog is there. Those are the two choices you have that won’t risk your baby being killed.

I’d take the dog to a veterinarian to Express your concerns it could be something more going on with your dog if its expressing aggression…tell your veterinarian your concerns with you having a new baby…you most definitely dont want to put the dog in another home displaying this behavior bc chances are it may end up hurting someone else and you may not find another home! Your veterinarian will help you decide the best way to go about the situation and with a professional on your side your fiance may listen better and understand more…its definitely a tough decision bc people think of there animals as there children but your human child should most definitely come first! Start at the veterinarian! I had a friend whose dog started displaying aggression and she too was pregnant…she went to the vet and expressed her concerns they did lab work and ended putting the dog on medications but in the end they found out the dog had a tumor on its brain it was only a few years old and they couldn’t rehome for due of liability/nobody wanted to take an aggressive dog in and they ended up have to euthanize :disappointed_relieved: but that’s definitely not a first choice thing that was a last choice! This may not be your case but take advice from your veterinarian!

Different situation but my Mum’s dog is a beautiful dog and has always treated me as a second master. I NEVER thought she would harm anyone including me.

However when I brought my three week old baby to mum’s she was intent on getting at her and I have no doubt she would have attacked her. Shocked the life out of me.

Needless to say I will not have them in the same space again.

I had to rehome my dog after having a baby. It was a very tough decision but at the end of the day, you will recover from rehoming your dog. You won’t recover from losing your baby and having to put the dog down. Rehoming it gives it a chance to live a comfortable life feeling safe.

I have a feeling that the dog is going to attack your baby upon you walking in the door with it. Esp since the way it acted when your bf had a seizure. Are you willing to take that risk.? The dog is dangerous.
I had a pit, that was getting more dog aggressive, when I was pregnant. He never snapped at me, but growled when I reprimand him.
A dog that acts like that is too dangerous to rehome. My dog was only 4yo, & went to work with me, & was my protection dog . As much as it broke my heart, I did the right thing. & had him pts. I’ve owned many many pits. When these dogs are threatening ppl, they are too dangerous to rehome,& way to much of a threat to keep. To keep the dog, you are seriously risking the life of your baby. & don’t listen to these ppl saying the dog is reacting to your pregnancy. That is absolutely not true. I’ve been pregnant. Never once did I have a dog, besides my pit, that ever acted aggressively bc of me being pregnant. Normal dogs do not ever behave that way.
Sad to say… the only solution is to put the dog to sleep… or… move out of the bf house.
Cuz I’m telling you, that dog is going to grab your baby right out of your arms& your baby is going to be killed, as soon as you come home.
No amt of training is going to make that dog Stop reacting the way he does.

In one of the pit bull problem groups, there is a lady, whose daughter went thru the same thing as you. Her husband’s pit kept threatening her, & bit her. Till one day, he came home, & found her dead. The dog had killed her.
Check out these groups. …
Dangerous dogs.
Pit bull problem.
Our pets were attacked by a pit bull.
Pit bull propaganda.
You will see horror stories of kids being mauled& killed by the loving family pit that ‘never’ showed signs of aggression.
& yours already is !!. Please do the safe thing

Baby should be priority #1. Theres a chance that baby could be mauled, especially if the baby could possibly make the dog nervous when baby cries. Is it even worth the risk? Contact the local animal hospital or look for someone who wont mind taking on an aggressive dog. You cant replace your infant and you would never be able to live with knowing you know very well it could of been prevented.

If the dog hasn’t been aggressive in the past and suddenly started showing signs of aggression out of no where I’d take said dog to the vet for a once over, that being said I couldn’t bring myself to trust it near a child at all…

Get rid of the dog. When that baby starts crawling and walking and sneaks up behind him he will eventually attack. Especially if baby tries to take his toy or bone or something. I know someone who had a dog for years with no problem and one day the dog just ripped their daughters cheek off her face. Literally. I know pets are family. Luckily my twelve year old dog that I have had since she Was a baby has never showed aggression and my kids climb on her and pull her tale. But the first time she snapped at my child I would not hesitate getting rid of her or making her an outside dog

You cannot trust this dog around your baby, if you re- home the dog you must be honest and tell them all the problems you are having with it.

I feel like this shouldn’t even be an issue. Your baby as well as you should come before the dog.

The fact that you pointed out it was a pit mix, and don’t seem to understand dogs and their mannerisms, I think you’re over exaggerating and fear mongering. We were worried about our dog being to aggressive with our new baby. We decided to wait and see how the dog reacted to the baby when he came home. That dog loves our baby. Because she is a bit aggressive, however, we never leave the baby alone with the dogs and keep a watchful eye on everything. Please stop it with the pitbull fear propaganda.
