German Shepherds are generally a well-respected breed, but they're not necessarily the first breed everyone thinks of when they think of kids. They're amazing workers, but many don't think they're quite right for families.
That's absolutely not the case! Just look at this video posted recently. Not only does the German Shepherd in the video care deeply for his baby: he feels terrible for scaring her, even though he didn't mean it!
While @absolutely_kaos1 might like in chaos most of the time, this moment is nothing but bliss. If I ever have a baby, I hope they get along this well with my dog!There are actually two German Shepherds raising this baby girl: Kaos and Mayhem. If ever she needs to fight off a bully, I just know she'll have way too much fun introducing them! The two of them love her equally, though Kaos is definitely gearing up to be "her" dog!
Someone in the comments suggested that she didn't start crying on purpose: she was obviously trying to howl, too, but couldn't manage. Don't worry, though: as she gets older and her lungs get bigger, she'll learn.
For now, though, Kaos worried that he scared his baby with all of his howling, and immediately tried to make it better with kisses. It worked like a charm!
Dogs generally don't like the sound of babies crying, which is why it's often so hard for them to adjust when a new baby comes home. The sound just makes them uncomfortable, and in some, it triggers a response that might be less-than-kind.
Before you allow your dog(s) to be around your baby (and before you even bring them home) there are some things you can do to help make it easier:
Play crying baby sounds so they can get used to it.
Start shifting their routine to align with what you want the baby's routine to be.
Make sure that your dog has plenty of alone time.
They're special, too, and making sure they feel like they are is the best way to make sure they develop a strong, jealousy-free connection with the kids in your home. Kaos and Mayhem certainly did!
