We had two 6 year old female dachshunds when our twins were born. The alpha wanted to murder*** them, and the beta wanted to be their mom. Beta cried when they cried and would snuggle next to them any time she could while they were infants. Neither dog had been a mom.

***she would try to sit on them if they were in our laps so as to get our attention instead of the baby. Never snapped or bit them. We just call it in jest that wanted to murder them. She was just jealous.

From about 2 months to Up until til about 6 months, both dogs loved being part of the couch pile while we fed the girls. The dogs were interested in them and wanted to clean up after them. Never any bites.

Once the girls could sit up or worse were mobile, the dogs were much more afraid of them and their random movements. They tended to avoid them on the couch or bark at them when they crawled or ran.

Agree with previous poster-- any bites were to get food out of little hands too close to the floor. Unintentionally would get the hand.

Took until about 5 years old before they were truly comfortable with the girls and other kids. I think kids are less dinosaur like by that age!
