Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Hello,

Our wonderful Hercules needs a new home. We are about to have our second child and our first child is only 18 months so “2 under 2”. He is a very well behaved pup and has gone through professional training but he has one problem that requires him to have a new hone. He get too excited around our 18 month old and attempts to “herd her”. When she cries he can’t handle it and runs over and knocks her down and start to lick her and pull on her clothes. I want to make this clear, he has never bitten her but his large size has knocked her over. With two children under 2 we simply don’t have the ability to keep him separated from two babies. We have noticed that once kids get to the age of 5/6 they are strong enough to not get knocked over by him and he doesn’t seem to get overly excited around older kids. He loves attention and pets from anyone. He loves other dogs and is very gentle with small dogs as he lives with two small dogs. He doesn’t bark much but he has “guard dog” dna
