    I've never raised dogs and probably never will, but if I did then I guess I would after checking the family out and seeing how serious they are about getting a puppy. I'd want to make sure they were well experienced with dogs too.

    Thirteen years ago When my little brother was born we got 2 new puppies shortly after (collie & great pyr) My dad brother and I all were here to help my mom out with everything, but it's not like it was impossible!!

    Personally, I would say absolutely not. A puppy is enough work by him/herself, as is a newborn baby....the combination would take a toll on anybody!

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    Positively not. I've seen too many dogs given away just because someone had a baby I don't care how much experience they've had.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Honestly I never would, I just don't think it would be the best situation for a puppy and a newborn at all.

    I think my answer would be the same no matter what scenario followed the question, Would you give a puppy to someone if... Everyone should be considered based on their own experiences, abilities and resources in raising a pup, and not based on any preconceived formula.
