Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Porter is a sweet, energetic, gorgeous brindle coated dog. My wife and I adopted him from the SPCA in April on 2018. He was about 8 weeks old when we took him home.
Porter is 50% Staffy, 30% Chow-Chow, and 20% Lab. He has been through multiple training regimens with two different trainers. He knows many different commands including recall. He is about 70 lbs. Current with all vaccines and is in fantastic health.
Porter does have two behavior issues. He barks, growls, and pulls towards strangers, but he can warm up to them if introduced slowly. He also guards his food, toys, and crate from most people. He has never bitten or harmed anyone and we are currently working with a trainer to improve these behaviors. However, my wife and I are expecting our first child soon, and we want to be completely sure that our child and Porter are happy and safe.
But, he is sweet, very smart, perceptive, FULLY POTTY TRAINED, fully crate trained and very food motivated.
It is breaking the hearts
