Yes!! Good for you for rescueing!!

For children smaller breeds are recommended. If you are willing to get a smaller breed.... Cockers are great with children. Some Boxers are, too.

Please take this test. It will definatly hyaelp you find the breed you are looking for.

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.

When I meant small dog I was thinking around 30 pounds. And most Cockers that bite are the very poorly bred ones. My RB Missy was from an alcoholic BYB and she bit me alot because I was alot younger and was rough with her. But we got closer as I got a bit older. My brother got a Boxer and he just LOVES her. Maybe a boxer would be a bit to rambunctious?

Sammy acctually came from a BYB but he doesn't seem to be nuerotic or have poor lines... just luck I guess. Missy was aggresive/afraid since the day we had her.

I know that test has designer breeds listed... I just ignore them. And I suggested it because when I took it, it listed all the breeds that would acctually do very well for me.
