My thoughts exactly. I’m not sure if the issue is a culture difference (dogs don’t belong in daycare centers here in the U.S. as a general rule, so this wouldn’t even be an issue here), or if something’s getting lost in translation, or what.

This is kind of a sketchy situation. Children are unpredictable and can stretch the patience threshold of even the most sedate dog — of any breed. Children who are unaccustomed to dogs (and even those who are) often don’t know how to behave around them, so ANY dog can be dangerous to a toddler. Personally, I’m not sure I would put the two in a daycare situation unless the dogs and kids were segregated from each other. One would think liability insurance would be an issue with registered daycare, but who knows.
I have noticed that some of the reports out of Denmark are a little vague and, well… bizarre. It’s difficult to tell what their goals are.
