I am so sorry that you missed out on adopting Millie because of your DIL's selfishness. I hope Millie has gone to a loving home.

As a parent of a 4 year old boy, no matter what the breed, I never ever leave them alone together. I am always there. Grandparents are ususally even more protective of their grandchildren then the actual parents, they dont want anything to happen to their Grandchildren (that's how my mum is).

Tell your DIL to check out this site, she may soon realise that rotty's are not bad dogs and not all other breeds are necessarily good, its how they are treated. All dogs have the ability to bite and attack. Rottweilers are just discriminated against because of bad publicity due to owners lack of responsibility of training a dog and treating it right.

I would also mention to her that you ARE going to get a dog and for her to get used to the idea. Tell her that the dog will be ob trained and crated when Jasmine stays over at your house. I would also mention to your DIL and your son that they should know you well enough that you would never jeoperdise the safety of your Grandchild and to even suggest that is just cruel and hurtful.

As to her comment about lock jaw, that's a myth. There is no breed that has the ability to lock their jaws. Granted their are some breeds that have stronger jaws than others but none of which who lock.

Good luck in finding another dog and thank you for trying to rescue Millie, I have no doubt that Jasmine would have been kept safe.
