Staffies are good with kids, plus there is usually a good choice at the rescue centres.

anything that doesnt require 10 men to stop it when it goes mad..,yorky terrier,yappy but nice little dogs or a greyhound,plenty of them around,young but dont make enough money for their owners,so get binned,need plenty of walks tho.

I have a rottweiler and a german shepherd and they are both brilliant with kids and people in general. No point getting a small dog as you gotta walk em anyway

The rescue homes are full of Staffies, but you don't know their history and they have an image problem at the moment.
Dogs that are gentle with kids, friendly and playful that need exercise but not excessive amounts would be something like a Labrador.

both nice dogs,but for a first dog id go with a little fella more so with kids as they can be a little rough at times.

I have two huskies, and they are fantastic with my children. They are not bothered by anything the kids are doing, even when trying to climb over them.

They are hard work though.

Lots of walking. And every six months they blow their coats, which is messy. We have to vacuum multiple times a day, and constantly empty it.

I don't trust little dogs. They are very yappy, and snappy and you never know when they may nip one of the kids.

Little dog syndrome is the worst. I get horrible looks and people cross the road to get away when im walking my dogs. But i agree i would rather meet a big dog than a little yapper which i find are more likely to nip or lash out

id prefer a dog that could nip as opposed to one that could rip a head off,ive got 3 terriers they could cause damage as any other dog could,but as ive got kids id prefer one that wont beat me in a fight:redface:
