...and actually the dog in the picture is not the dog that attacked her. This shows that we need to be careful with all animals in our daycare homes. I believe it was actually a bulldog mix that attacked her.
Bad news reporting on their part.Comment

It says French Mastiff. Not a bulldog mix and even if it was a bull dog mix that doesn't mean pit bull. Either way, I agree that we need to be careful with pets in our home. I keep my dogs separate from my daycare kids. But my point is that it has nothing to do with the Pit Bull breed, but that all dogs pets can be a danger and its about protecting your furry family members in general, not placing blame on a misunderstood breed.Comment

I have 2 dogs in my home and are around my dcks. When parents interview I tell them if thats a problem then this isn't the right place for them. My 1 dog is a middle aged shih poo and he has the best temperament. I also have a miniature schnauzer mixed with a little chihuahua. Very sweet loving dogs. All the kids love to cuddle up with my dogs and pet them during circle time and story time. The only problem we ever had was where a grandpa of one little 2 year old boy kicked his dog when the boy was visiting. I guess that made dc boy think it was ok to kick my dog. When he did my dog snapped at him. Left a red mark but did not break the skin. I immediately called his patents to find and found out that grandpa always kicks his dog and that they were ok with my dog snapping at him because they said he had to learn that the dog wouldn't put up with it. I worked very hard to teach dcb that it was never ok to kick an animal. That was a year ago and we've never had another problem with dcb or any other dcksComment

Yet. You've never had another problem, YET.
Just so you are aware, if your dog bites another child you, even for awesomely good reason like its being hurt by a child and merely defending itself, you can and likely will be one of those cases where you are sued for everything you've got and the dog WILL lose its life.
That you are knowingly keeping a dog with a bite history in amongst your daycare children is so beyond dangerous and reckless there aren't even words for it...........please reconsider what you're doing here. It's one thing if a provider can claim in defense that their dog had no history of aggressive behavior, but you cannot.
A snap is something a dog does at the air as a warning. There is no contact. Your dog BIT a child in your care. There's a big difference.
I would have been required by law to report that to licensing at the very least, did you have to do that?Comment
