The #1 worst dog for kids:
Dalmation!!!
I saw a program on Discovery Channel about dogs- they said the best was an Old English Sheepdog, and the Dalmation was the worst. They also said you should try to stay away from really little dogs (Poms, Shih Tzu, Toy Poodles, Chi's,etc), because they are too nippy. I wouldn't personally know, since I don't have a dog nor a child.
