Actually smaller dogs are often more likely to bite small children and are usually more nippy and cranky when, it comes to small children, cockers are some of the biggest offenders when it comes to biting children. As for Boxers, they are wonderful with kids, even young ones, but they are not small, Cracker is 85 pounds and no fat on him. Granted he's rather large but they are definitely not a small breed in general. Boxers are also VERY energetic, moreso than a lot of medium sized dogs.
