My boy will be 3 in April. He is a dauchshund, otherwise known as a weenie dog. My son will be born in June. We have had several friends bring their babies over and they let my boy sniff and be near them. He seems to love babies. Crying doesn't bother him. He's very curious and will rest next to them. Some of the babies have tugged on his ears and pulled his hair. He just rolls over and takes it.
