Hi,
I just want to say this aggression sounds very unusual, most airedales are very loving animals, although they can be very protective. Maybe the dog seen the baby as a threat to his owner,not meaning to intentionally hurt, but protect his loved one. But I agree you probally shouldnt have your child around the dog. Was he raised around children? Because these dogs have a real protective bond with there families. I have a year old female and also three children ages 7,4, and 1 years of age, and shes never hurt them or anyone else who plays with them. I hope this helps you, but I dont feel the attack was out of aggression, I feel it was an intinct to protect his master. I hope your baby is o.k. adog attack can be very devistating. God bless you and your son. Rhonda |
