hi there. I'm not sure if this question has come up before about bringing a baby into the home and having an older boxer.
anyway here goes, my wife and I just found out that we are 2 weeks pregnant and we are alittle worried about 9 months down the road with our 5 year old boxer. he's got some manners excepts for when I come home from work he lunges at me at the door with excitement other than that hes great. He extremely playful as all boxers are but he's also very protective of my wife.
how would we go about getting him used to having a baby around? would he bite the baby thinking its a toy? or will he adjust pretty easy?
I know he will need me more than ever because of all the attention the baby will get.
I also hear it would have been better if the dog and the baby grew together but the dog aka my first son is already 5 yrs
any advice?????
thanks
