Ok so my wife brought home a new heeler Australian puppy while we currently have a six month old baby, and a 7 year old son.. I just don’t know how I feel about it. We’ve had him for almost a week and he seems like a good dog and trainable, the research I’ve done on this breed is they are loyal, family oriented but require training and a lot of activity…
My cons:
He’s biting a lot, not hard but it’s enough to where he made our baby cry and ripped up some of our couch and my wife’s night gown. (This is my biggest con as baby comes as #1)
Along with having what is practically a new born, I’ll now have to spend my time training this puppy for months/years.
Long trips are now difficult as we will need to secure either a dog sitter or spend hundreds on a dog hotel.
My wife despite bringing the dog home now has had a change of heart and wants the dog gone.
My Pro’s
My kids get a dog and that’s always awesome for kids and teaches responsibility.
If I could choose a dog years from now it would be this one as he’s already showing signs of being trainable and has already started going outside for restroom breaks. All around seems like a good dog but im not sure if that’s just the breed?
I’ve become attached as has my son.
We’ve found a friend that will take the dog, big yard nice people, I’m just a pet guy and have become attached and just want to know what some of you guys would do in this situation or you older guys what you did do. [Reply]

I wouldn’t recommend them

Though I’d be a little irritated at my wife for bringing it home in the first place, then a couple days later changing her mind and now wants me to get rid of it for her? What, is she a 9-year-old? I’d have to have a talk with her about impulse control. [Reply]
Heelers are smarter than most young women these days, and absolutely more loyal. They never question your authority and are FAR less expensive to feed. Keep the dog, keep the wife until the child can walk, then foster out the wife. [Reply]
