boyfriend doggy drama. I NEED ADVICE ?

Question

He has two short haired dogs and I have my Aussie. He has Bulldogs which are known to be more aggressive. Don't get me wrong, I love all breeds. But the one is almost 50 lbs and has already jumped on my sisters 4 month old while she was asleep. I've lived with them for a year even though I have an allergy but I'm not okay with my newborn going through that. I also don't want to lose my child's father either. Any comments with advice would be nice too.

Answer

Bulldogs are one of the most loving dogs and great with children that is why my hubby and I just got an English bulldog.

Answer

So I'm reading the comments and you say you are allergic to his dogs but not yours? How is that so? Australian Shepherds aren't hypoallergenic...? Even if you are there are shots for dogs and for humans to create less allergic reactions. It's unfair to expect someone to get rid of their dog(which is family) instead of insisting on proper training for the problems you are listing. Especially since you aren't willing to take those same steps. If the dog is jumping on newborns, he needs to be trained.. if the dog is being aggressive, he needs to be trained. If you really want to avoid a long fight with your child's father and him possibly reconsidering your relationship because of this..get the proper training. That's it.

Answer

Your baby could be allergic to ur Aussie what would u do with ur dog if that's the case?

Answer

Let me make this clear because I could have came off wrong. I love the dog, but I'm allergic. I don't want to bring a new baby into the house of she's allergic as well. The dog is also aggressive with food, and has jumped on my sisters 4 month old multiple times. I don't want to put her in a shelter where she will be put down. I'd rather find a really good home for her. I would never put a dog in a shelter.

Answer

Well if he doesn't want to get rid of his then tell him it needs to go outside not in the house anymore....

Answer

He told me if I make him get rid of his I have to get rid of mine which isn't fair. I have an Australian shepherd who is very obedient and very sweet. She has never hurt anyone. His dog doesn't listen, and still has accidents in the house. I just don't know how to go about this. I don't think he understands the severity of it.

Answer

To Crystal:

I'm not telling him to get rid of them becaus I don't like them. I'm asking him to give them to someone if our child is allergic. I'm not giving up on them but I'm not trying to let my newborn suffer because she has the same allergy I do. I've lived here for a year and have dealt with it because I didn't think it was fair to ask him to find new homes. I'm an adult and I'll deal with my allergy. But bringing a baby into the house is different. I just don't understand why I'm immature for asking him that?? Wouldn't you do the same? And his bulldog is prone to being aggressive and not good with children. I love her to death but not more than my child. Please explain why the hell I'm immature.

Answer

You can definitely be more sensitive to short haired vs long hair. My doctor has confirmed. I don't know why people enjoy telling me MY diagnosis. If my child is allergic to my Aussie then I will find a new home for my Aussie. As much as it would suck, I care more about the health of my child.

Answer

Why are you telling me that if be more allergic to long haired?? Like who are you?? Forgot you knew me and my boyfriend and our lives. Lol. You're a crazy bitch who is just looking to pick a fight with some girl on the Internet. Have fun trying to diagnose someone you don't even know.

Answer

Btw he has a Victorian bull dog which is 3/4 English Bulldog and 1/4 American Bulldog so she is very large
