I actually thought of this from an old post I saw in another part of the forum, but years and years ago, my neighbors had a border collie. He was a great dog. They were a little worried about him when she got pregnant and they had their first child, but it was so neat. He just loved that baby.

I always remember that whenever there was a noise, the first thing he'd do was run to the nursery, look in the crib to check on the baby, and then go running off towards the direction of the noise. Just a little memory of something I've never forgotten.

That is an amazing story. My dog who I have had for 7 years still is jealous of the baby and refuses to get near her. She is never mean just feigns disinterest in her. i would love it if she was as protective over my youngest as she was over my other 3.

My dog will let us know when there is someone in the yard but has never been violent.

Hi an old friend when i was a kid had a jack russel, and this little jack russel loved his mom, if my mate ever huged or kissed his mom the little jack russel (spud!) would growl, bark and show his teeth! lol he was so protective over his mom, he didnt want anyone else to have her!!
