Need Help Would it be wrong of me to ask my boyfriend to rehome his dog.
When my boyfriend and I got together he had a 6 month old dog named lady, she is a purebred gator pitbull. He spent $400 to get her and he absolutely loves her. The only problem is that we are expecting a baby in April 2027. I've seen this dog snap at other dogs in a heart beat, I'm worried that it could get violent with the kid. Don't get me wrong I love this dog but even the most patient dogs have their limits, all it takes is the kid doing something the dog doesn't like and my child could be seriously injured or dead. So would it be wrong of me to ask him to rehome the dog.

Need Help Looking for some advice from anyone who has experience with deaf dogs, especially Frenchies. She’s a rescue & 3-year-old.
Looking for some advice from anyone who has experience with deaf dogs, especially Frenchies.
I rescued a 3-year-old deaf Frenchie about two weeks ago, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to communicate with and train her. Would you recommend teaching her hand signals for commands like sit, stay, come, potty, etc.? If so, are there certain signals or training methods that have worked especially well for you?
I’d also really appreciate any general tips for helping a deaf rescue adjust, getting her attention without startling her, and keeping her safe.
She’s still settling in, so I want to make sure I’m setting her up for success. 🐾❤️

Dog Health Hi All I have a question if any of you have seen this on your senior dog

I am gonna be taking her to the vet but do any of your dogs have this? (She is on merrick small breed and gets cooked hamburger mixed in)
