hi all,

we are expecting our first baby in a few month time and planning to move to a bigger house. It's always been the dream of us to have a dog in the house. But should we wait until the kid is a bit older before we should consider getting a dog? has anybody raised a puppy while their kid is very small? how is it like?

Little baby, little baby pup, bring them up at the same time , they will learn to love each other and grow up together and bond really well.

SOOO cute

There's never a right or wrong time to have a baby, and there's never a right or wrong time to get a dog. Just follow your instincts. If you decide it's the right thing, it will be. If you're not sure, don't push it.

Puppies and babies both take a lot if time! Definitely wait until after you have had your baby - you will be exhausted! The baby and pup will still bond really well when the baby is older, and you all will enjoy it a lot more.

I know a lot of people who have given their puppy away after the baby was born because they felt they didn't have time. Wait till your baby is old enough to enjoy the new pet as well

LaBob - how did you go? I'm considering getting a dog before baby.. I think its entirely how you raise the dog.. having come from OZ I always grew up with animals and I loved having a dog around - it relaxes the mind, body and soul.
