We have had him since he was a puppy and he used to be very good with small children but over the last year he has become increasingly aggressive towards small children.He has bitten both my children although never broken skin. My husband is in the military and we recently got orders to move to Germany. Bear is a part of our family but we are now wondering if it is time to find him a better home. On top of his nervous biting he has severe separation anxiety and does not tolerate being kenneled at all. He used to but around 8 months the separation anxiety started. That’s also when he first showed aggression towards small children. Even when we leave him out with our other dog in our bedroom with plenty of chew toys he will still sometimes destroy blinds, bedding and the corners of our dressers. Bear is truly a wonderful dog. so happy most of the time and full of energy. He has the sweetest eyes and when I look into them I know he’s looking back and feeling nothing but love. It’s amazing and I can’t imagine life without him but I want him to be balanced and happy all the time and not feel anxious or uncomfortable because of our children. Please if anyone has any advice please share. Thank you!

I just wanted to give you an update. I follow your organization on Face Book, your site, etc. I always enjoy seeing the pics of the Dals that come into care-rescue, and the very happy endings when they find new families!

Autumn & Parker are wonderful, happy, and my absolutely devoted companions. They are very much a couple, with Autumn running the show, and Parker remains very much the big puppy and always will be. They go everywhere with us…including the farm, and love the horses, etc. I will always be grateful to you for matching us up with these two wonderful dogs! I wish you could see how they enrich our lives! I would be lost without them! Their eyes never leave me…tracking me constantly, following me from room to room…such an alert and devoted breed. For anyone considering rescue of a Dal…go for it! You can’t go wrong…wonderful family dogs!
