We're expecting a little girl very soon and are wanting to get a puppy for her to grow up with. We're wanting a dog that's not going to be too big and is more of a quiet dog. My boyfriend's also wanting to get a hairless cat once our daughter is older so I'm thinking this dog needs to be pet friendly also. What are some good choices to look into?


Answer
None --- absolutely none. You will have your hands full with the baby and hardly need to be training a puppy too.

On top of that, dogs can NEVER be left alone with young children, they need to be monitored so nothing happens.
The kid pulls the dog's tail, picks it up, gets bitten. Not the dog's fault, but dog gets dumped usually.

Our rescue never adopts to families with small children for that reason.

You have a LOT to learn about dogs to begin with, no dog comes "pet friendly" and quiet, you train a dog, takes patience, time and lots of effort.

Please, do yourself, your baby to be, and some poor dog a favor and wait until your child is at least 8 or so before you get a dog - you are being way too ambitious at the moment - concentrate on your new baby and forget pets right now. You would be unfair to your baby and the dog to have both at this time in your life.

What to expect and prepare for my pregnant dog?

I want her to be in best shape.. She is a chihuahua.

1. Is it ok we feed her cooked chicken breast pieces?
2. Does it have to be warm where she is? Im guessing yes
3. Tell me anything i need to know.


And 4, we have a professional coming over and we are gonna call him when she starts giving birth, but to prepare ourselves. She lives in the laundry room, nice and quiet and we talk her on walks daily.



Answer
Thats protein, yes thats fine for her!

Room temperature around 70-80 degress is good...

you must know that you need to monitor the feedings and make sure each puppie is drinking milk from the mom.

Vet bills are going to cost you, be ready

They will poop a lot, be ready to clean up a lot, get dog wipes to clean babies when they get poop on them

The mom will eat the egg sack yolk, this is normal. Let her eat it. It has nutritonal value for her.

Do not help the baby get out of the yolk sack let the mom and baby do it on their own.

Be careful trying to pick up a baby dog, mom might be defensive (normal)


If i were you,
id buy one of those plastic play pools for kids and create almost like a bed for her in it and have her sleep there until she gives birth. This gives room for all the babies to move around, and is easy to clean, rather than off the floor or a dog bed.

This is going to be a great experience for you and well worth it. You will know why when it happens. The babies are going to be so small and so cute and you will just fall in love with all of them..
It was a great experience for us, I will give you that. :D
worth every minute of our time and every cent lol
