Thank you everyone for your replies....

As for the dog bite, I was there when it happened - I know he didnt do anything to the dog.

As for my husbands dog - I do feel bad that I can't have her in the home, altough she hasnt bit, there is reason for concern with her. She is extremely exictable and thinks children are toys. It was a struggle for me to keep her off my son - although she was playing with him - I never liked to have dogs jumping on my children. Even before the bite, I was afraid to leave my son alone with my husband and the dog because he pretty much just lets the dog do whatever it wants - including jumping on the children.... my son has received many scratches all of his body from her, and didn't like her jumping on him. Everytime she jumped on him, he would tell her to stop and cry. And whatever she wants also includes sleeping in our bed (which I told him I did not like - especially when I was pregnant and she would squeeze up between us and live in the middle), chewing up whatever she feels like in the house, and peeing and pooping all over our house, including my sons room. who had to clean up all this mess? me. He would just leave it there. On top of this, he never fed the dog either.... I was the only one making sure she had food and water in her bowl. I asked him to take her for professional training, for the lack of discipline and he just ignored me. I truly feel that there are behaviour issue with his dog that he refuses to address - simple tells me don't worry she wont bite.

I am not trying to punish him for his lack of support - with all these issues with her and with him refusing to moderate her behaviour around children, and refusal to get her trained properly I have a real fear that one of my chidren will end up getting hurt by her......
